Wherever you go…
…there you are.
For Katie, from Shakespeare’s Sister, a post about quiz results:)
| Which famous feline are you? |
 You’re Hobbes. First of all, the makers of this quiz would like to congratulate you. You have our seal of approval. You are kind, intelligent, loving, and good-humoredly practical. You’re proud of who you are. At the same time, you’re tolerant of those who lack your clearsightedness. You’re always playful, but never annoying. For these traits, you are well-loved, and with good cause. Take this quiz! |
| What mythical beast are you? |
 You’re a pegasus. You’re very calm and loving. Something about you makes others want to get close to you, whether or not you feel the same way about them. You don’t bond to others easily, but when you do it’s long-lasting. Your alignment is *good*, but not so much that you can’t have fun. Take this quiz! |
