SOS - Text critters needed ...

Hi all,

Would appreciate help for a project I'm doing elsewhere.

I used as separators between groups the following character string just to be amusing:

>^._.^< >^._.^< >^._.^< >^._.^< >^._.^< >^._.^<

representing a group of cats. It just occured to me that it would be more representative if I alternated with other symbols to represent other groups of pets. Unfortunately I'm drawing a blank... All I can think of is <>< <>< <>< to represent fishes and (oVo) (oVo) to represent owls ... which aren't really my idea of pets, anyways. I know there must be some set of symbols for dogs and for birds, but I'm blanking. Can any of you help me out? Thanks.

C\\===\\> for a curly tailed Dachund? (Looks more like a ferret, right? Bother!)

mouse!

I guess this one looks sort of like a Schanuzer or something lol another one I made up :)

Oh no they got massed up!!:( Well you get the point!

For any line that starts with a space, or any place in the middle of a line with more than one space, you have to use "& nbsp ;" without the spaces so just &-enbeeesspee-semicolon for each "space." If you scroll up, you'll see that my reindeer and cat now look better, and the ferret's tail is closer to where it should be, that was done with &-enbeeesspee-semicolon - s!

Here is a website that I know of. Official Smiley Dictionary If you click on Emoticons, there is some there. But I'm not sure if this is the kind of thing you are looking for.
