explaination....anyone care to clear this up for me?

That's one I never heard of, and I've been reading this n.g. (and its
predecessor rpc) for over 6 years. It must be a new one.

Itz an idea that the furcats on rec.pets.cats.anecdotes came up with.
Check R.P.C.A. for Cap'n PineCone's thread about the ocean cruuze. The
kitties cruuzing with Capn Pine Cone have been gone for weeks now, and
had to arrange for clones so there hoomins wouldn't figure out what was
going on.

Well, since I'm just a tiny little kitten I am not familiar at all with
that history :)

The tales of Cap'n Pinecone's voyage on R.P.C.A. are told without the
grammar of meowchat - probably just as well for the kitties in my
household, since our meowmie is a former school teacher and a stickler
for proper English, even from us kitties. But I'm trying hard to pick up
on meowchat so I can fit in better with my fellow felines. So are my
adopted siblings, but they're a little shy about getting on Usenet.

Cap'n Pine Cone here.

If I were posting in anything other than RPCA, I wouldn't have been able
to get away with telling our pirate adventures. I'm not comfortable
using kitten English, as I was taught my the Fat Wench's other cats to
speak hoomin english. None of them were ever talked to in kitten
english and didn't know what it was until a couple of years ago.

The Fat Wench has been posting in RPCA for over five years now, and
feels comfortable enough in there to know that they are lenient enough
to tolerate my adventures, especially since I write them in hoomin
English. While she was never a part of the cat group wars, she can
understand how viscous they were, having read the other cat groups
before deleting them and finding the tone of voice in some of them to be
extreme, to be polite.

I've been posting my adventures in both RPCA and RPCC, lately, but have
posted messages in only RPCA before without being jumped on. Maybe the
hoomins are coming around and just know what a superior species we cats
are and are learning to give us our just attention.

How do you do, young Tabitha Kitten? It is furry nice to meet you.
Usually Mietze is the spokeskitty for my clowder, and she has a rather
cavalier way with the keyboard, but I wanted to tell you that you may
write in any style which is comfortable for you. It is a purrsonal
kind of thing, reflecting (one hopes) the unique and individual Cat.

Well thank you, Norville! That's very gracious of you.

I'm trying to learn some meowspeak, so that I can fit comfortably into
some of the ongoing discussions here, but it's good to know that it's
not required.
