Here, once again, are the Rules: Post only original photos taken by you. (One exception is if someone takes a photo OF you, you can post it here.) Not too big. In inches I wouldn't go much bigger than 8" x 10", but that's just a general guideline, not a hard and fast rule. In pixels that would be 576 x 720. (You all know they should be 72dpi, right?) Let's keep them rated PG, please. :-) Any suggestions for more rules? ~Sue~ ![]() |

This pic is taken by Me,.... Obviously having such a rather wicked and scarily intense cat has frightened off all the males... This animal owns you so much it ate your lunch and even licked the plate clean and then washed the fork and put it back on the plate just to spook you... (or show you it's absolute devotion.) I would suggest the women in your life look out. Nobody will ever know you like this cat does and nobody will ever have the chance to know you whilst it has claws... What ever you do "given I am male" just don't give it my address as I fear for my well being... |

This pic is taken by Me, with a Digital Camera, and is 720px × 960px, 576x720 would destroy the pic's aspect ratio, and yes I've tried resizing the pic... The size in the rules is just a suggestions for largest acceptable size. (And I believe that is pretty clear the way I said it.) It's for people who want to post photos that are huge, like the ones I take using my iPhone. Those pix are about 60+ inches by 40+ inches and far too big to post - both physically and by file size. The size I suggest is a reminder that they need to be reduced considerably before posting to the group. (I can't believe I have to go over this again.) No one is suggesting changing a photo's aspect ratio. Common sense people. ~Sue~ ![]() |

What was on the plate was My breakfast, eggs and sausage, not Hers, She gets fed cat food, what She licks here won't hurt Her. I am sure you ate your breakfast... But when you were not watching she went off and made herself some delicious pancakes, cat fodder and cream.. Munched em all down and left a plate for you smart and nice... After all what you lick won't hurt you either too :) You have a strong familiar there. Cat power :) ..Boys are such scaredy cats... |

Cats and dogs are not capable of that, one needs an opposable thumb to cook, and strength. That is what they would have you believe... You did say "it's just that so far, no guys have said anything." relative to your cat.. As a guy I'm telling you your feline probably has a few more tricks up her sleeve than you actually notice.. ... and I am fairly sure she will say typical man... I can get away with anything! Cats are pretenders and have no choice but to be honest.. they are weirding ones.. ;/ |

Then why has My food supply not gone down when I am not eating? Eat something or just throw it away or invite some mice.... It's not my duty to tell your cat and you to stop stocking up on apple and dog burgers... I suspect the best solution for you and your cat is to find some really active mice or fat rats... In both ways it will keep you both busy and give you lots of protein... .. |

For several years now I have taken bi-monthly pictures of the local park, on or around the 1st and the 16th of each month I take around 60 pictures from different spots, trying to stand in roughly the same place. This year having been on the Isle of Wight for most of the summer I don't have many good pictures of the park then and now, but as I was taking the pictures today I thought this one would be a good comparison. Today: ![]() and 27th July: ![]() |

Isn't that what cats's dream of? Mc Dog and apple sauce? Of course if you are an Admiral you will be dreaming of Mc Cat and Wevil Cherrish.. The rest of us only have Mc Rat and Rat sauce to look forward to. No rats? What the hell do you eat then? |
