CysterCat, the little cat you posted before was just lovely. The above
however, leaves a lot to be desired.

Here again is your little cat. It looks just right like this.

Please do NOT post in HTML in the newsgroups. If you want us to see what
it looks like with the HTML, put it on your website and tell us the URL.


This is an excerpt from the ASCII-art FAQ:
...........................
: 2.What isn't ASCII art? 
:
:   The following specialized art-forms are not ASCII art in the `pure'
:   sense, and are not welcome in the ASCII art Usenet groups. 
:
:   ANSI, `extended ASCII', or `high ASCII' art. Many computer systems
:   have an extended character set of 256 or more characters, based on
:   the ANSI or Unicode character sets and having the first 128
characters
:   identical to ASCII. These characters should not be used in ASCII art
:   because many types of computer system do not support them, and even
:   those that do may not display them in a standard way (for example,
:   the Windows ANSI character set is different from the Macintosh ANSI
:   character set). 
:
:   HTML art. HTML, the language used in Web pages, can be used to add
:   special effects such as colours, font size, and (ugh) blinking text
:   to ascii art, and HTML can be read by some newsreaders. However, the
:   key word here is `some'. To many newsreaders, HTML art will just
:   appear as a jumble of <TAGS> and will be totally unrecognizable. 
:
:   If you want to create HTML art, do so by all means, but put it on
:   a Web page and post the page address (URL) to the appropriate
:   Usenet group. Advice on how to do this can be found at
:   http://www.geocities.com/SoHo/Studios/9334/asciionpage.htm.
