How to Make A Kitty Avatar

The mom had some time this past holiday weekend, and instead of doing what she should have been doing, she played around with avatars.  She found a website that creates animal avatars, not just cats and dogs, but horses, reptiles, birds, you name it.  She made one of each of us.

This is me, meowing for a breakfast I will refuse to eat.

(Yes, the mom is sarcastic!)

 And angelic Julie.

And Mica Minnie Moo.

The mom gave MMM a "wider" body.

She's nicknamed "Waddles" for a reason.

MMM's avatar was disappointing, there was no way to lay down tortie coloring in a meezer pattern.  Other than that, we loved it.  Unfortunately, there is just one pose.

The website is called Cartoonize My Pet.  Its actually part of Zazzle and is meant to generate art to put on merchandise to sell.  So after you have created your masterpiece, you can't download it in a form usable on your blog, although you could use it to personalize coffee mugs, key chains and the like.  That's ok, cause the mom knows how to copy it.

As you can see along the left side, you can do all kinds of living creatures, and probably some that exist only in your imagination.  Just pick your type of animal then click on the "Cartoonizer" and start creating!  Experiment!  All the little buttons and arrows work, so have fun!

Tomorrow she'll tell you how to save the new cute image of your four footed sweetie!

In the meantime, she created some avatars for friends.  Sparkle didn't think she'd seen a good Somali avatar, so the mom tried.  How is this?

Also, Hannah and Lucy asked she TAAALK REEAAALLYYYY LOOOUUUD AAND SLOOOWLYYY for their mum, but we thought that would drive everyone batty, so our mom did avatars for their mum.  Those two girls give their mum no breaks at all!

 Hannah is probably making a sarcastic remark.

You couldn't see her mouth if it wasn't open.

Tomorrow we'll talk about copying the images so they are usable.  Its even easier than making the avatars!

The mom is willing to make avatars for friends who would like her to do it for them.  Just let us know.  If you'd like them emailed, again, just speak up.  The mom tends not to center things, if that bothers you, let her know.  She's a little off center herself!

Have fun and let your inner artiste out!

UPDATE:  There are many options for kitties at Cartoonize My Pet, but the other animals are limited. Still, with an editing program, you should be able to do some customization.
