Voila !  I'll leave it to you to squeeze it down to 4 lines !

My sister thinks this cute little cat looks like a platypus. (Sorry fL)

With apologies to fL, I have now altered the 

    |\      _,,,~~~,,_
    /, .-'`'    -.  ;-;;,_
   |,4-  ) )-,_. ,\ (  `'-'
  '-~~''(_/--'  `-'\_)  fL


to make:

              _,,,---,,_
       .--..-'`   -.  ;-;;,_
   ___/%   ) )-__...\ (  `'-'
 ((:___/--/ /        \ )   
          ""          ""

Having only seen pictures of platypusses (platypi?), I hope this is sort of 
close.  Oh, oh. Not only does it not look even remotely like a platypus, I 
just realized it's FIVE lines long now. This sig rule certainly is tricky.


                 
       .--..-'''-''''-._ 
   ___/%   ) )      \ i-;;,_
 ((:___/--/ /--------\ ) `'-'
          ""          "" 

Okay, now it's four lines and I must say it looks even less like a platypus. 
(Actually, it looks more like a lizard than my lizard.  :^D  ) 

Cheers. Maybe someone has a duck that can be altered? Good luck.

Cool!  A challenge!

Okay, that white space has got to go.  Oh, and that border, too.

           _.- ~~^^^'~- _ __ .,.- ~ ~ ~  ~  -. _
 ________,'       ::.                       _,-  ~ -.
((      ~_\   -s-  ::                     ,'          ;,
 \\       <.._ .;;;`                     ;           }  `',
  ``======='    _ _- _ (   }             `,          ,'\,  `,
               ((/ _ _,i   ! _ ~ - -- - _ _'_-_,_,,,'    \,  ;
                  ((((____/            (,(,(, ____>        \,'

Hmmm, seven lines.  This still looks okay to me, and is one-third the
size of the version with the borders.  Of course, it's still 3 lines too
big...

Voila!  A suitable size for a .sig!

It looks like a kitten to me :)
But llizard sent this to me: 

 
    |\      _,,,[[[,,_
    /,-.-']'    -.  ;-;;,_
   |,4-  ) )-,_..;\ (  ]'-'
  '[[[''(_/--'  ]-'\_)  fL/llizard's sister



saying that it was the sister's interpretation of the picture.

hmmm... still looks like a cat to me...
...maybe something like this:
 
            _,,,''',,_
       .-']'    -.  ;o;;,_
    , -  ) )-,_..;\ (  ]'-'
   '...'(_/--'  ]-'\_)    fL/llizard's sister/Veronica          

?

No offence intended, but it looks like a cat with a duck's head which has been
run over. =)
