Since I can't insert words to my post after I add pics(tried to add titles to each photo but in kept jumping to bottom of page) soooo. Top photo is(from left to right) Benni, Angel, and Andy. second photo is: Angel(Bermese) in foreground and Andy in background. third photo is of Andy(orange tabby), and fourth photo is of Benni( Manx, tail-less). they are all going on 17 years old. I had them all since they were kittens. I got them when I was 19. Angel was a stray when I was in Kansas city(going to Kansas City Art Institute). He got me through some really tough times. I then got Benni(who at the time was a little furball that fit in the palm of my hands) from the humane society in KC, and Andy, I got as soon as I got back home from College.

Elle,

It took me awhile to figure it out. It isn't as simple as the photo uploads on Facebook, etc.

Its my given name. I upload photos all of the time too, but it is difficult to figure out different upload programs. Are you a professional photographer? I would love to go back to college to learn more about photography, but I do't do well in classes with a bunch of other people that don't understand Aspergers.

EDITED: I've gotten the first few photos up, will work on the others. not sure why this is such an issue- I've used this place before to share photos, maybe they've changed something.

Well I am pretty distressed at cats at the moment, was just attacked a couple of days ago by a cat I had hand raised when his mom (feral cat) died and he was the only survivor of the litter.  His current person, my older son, seriously Aspie has taken it into his noggin that I am out to have the cat killed....NOT but son will not pay any attention to my suggestion to neuter said cat...who has now sent 2 people who have known him since early kittenhood and one who has not to the ER.  Any ideas on dealing with the situation?  (AM a catlover anyway, have 2 neuterred female, excellent mousehunter, varied grays as part of the household as I type....)

 

Oh yes and I am on antibiotics, hoping to avoid major infection in any of the 20 breaches to my integuemental layer....

I am not sure why the pictures aren't showing. They are showing for me. It is hard to trouble shoot when I am not having the same issue!

 

as for the cat attacking people. . . hm. have you tried showing your son the research about how it is good to neuter male cats?

Janes Prints,

male cats need to be neutered if you don't want them to spray all over the place. You CAN NOT  get the smell out and it ruins wood work, carpet, etc. For female cats,alteration is called spaying. As I see it, a resonsible pet owner gets ther animals altered, as there are MANY pets looking for homes, and are being killed each day at humane societies.

I love my cats and have endured 17 years with cat allergies. I love my cats, but when they go to heaven, I will not get any more, as my allergies are getting worse throughout the years. Frown

I have tried showing him the info on neutering, as have many catloving friends of mine, and he refuses to do it.  Very frustrating.  Especially as this cat was hand raised (by me) and was pretty well socialized before going to become for the first time an only cat at Shmuel's girlfriend's (at our house he was one of 2 or 3)

Is it possible to post a picture just from your computer?  I'd love to post a picture of my darling boy here (Allie), but I can't figure out how.

Alliesperson, I will do a tutorial if I can- I have a different set up than most of you because I have editor status/am part of the board. Maybe I'll set up a second account. . .? They will be in this section: All About AWN > AWN Website. I just posted one the other night about friending people, let's see if my cats will leave me alone long enough to do so! 

and to be on topic:

A black and white cat, named baka, in a bathroom sink, looking at the camera adorably

That is Baka, in the bathroom sink, being ADORABLE. (that is my tobacco shisha/hookah behind her- I have apple and vanilla flavored tobaccos, but I don't use it much.)

Hi Savannah, you don't need to set up another account. There should be an 'Input format' link underneath the editor box and above the save/preview buttons (let me know if there is not). Click the link and choose "Filtered HTML" to get the regular editor.

I have said that soo many times.  I have on my dog now but i am sooo tempted. I miss a cat. I even had shots and they helped but didn't cure the problem.  It's the sinus infections i really hated. We will see.

I  know I say never, but I  know that I will probably cave in at the first site of an adorable kitty.  I'm also allergic to our pet rats :-(

I love cats. We have a couple here, Dudley and Meg. Will post some pics if I get the chance.

With Dudley, I love to pick him up and cuddle him. I know he hates it, but I can't resist kissing him just on behind the ear. He's getting on a bit now, we've been noticing he's having some problems with his hind legs. Could be arthritis, he is an old cat now. Be close to 16 years probably.

We only got Meg last June, we think she's got Persian in her. Very timid, if shes laying on top of the piano shes fine with me giving a pat. If she happens to be walking around the house, can't get near her. She just runs straight back into my friend's room.

Can never let her outside, we'd never get her back again.

I love cats, I really do.
