INTRODUCING MR. FLUFFY FLUFF!

[tarasgirl06]

Elvis and I welcomed Mr. Fluffy Fluff into our family on June 3. He is adopted from Stray Cat Alliance, a wonderful cat advocacy, rescue and adoption group based in Los Angeles, CATifornia. He's 2, neutered, of course!, and as you can see, absolutely gorgeous. They sniffed noses through his carrier when he first arrived, and there were no hisses from either. I'd wanted to adopt a friend for lonely Elvis since our beloved Suha left us, but needed to wait until our former roomies moved and I got a few home maintenance projects done. I have always done the up-to-2-week introduction from a safe room that experts suggest, but Elvis and Mr. Fluffy decided right away that it wasn't going to be necessary. Mr. Fluffy spent the first night in his safe room so I wouldn't have to deal with any potential late-thirty matters, but since then, he's been "at large" and Elvis isn't at all bothered by Mr. Fluffy's decision to use HIS favorite box, even though he has his own in the safe room and there are a total of 6 boxes in the house! They are eating each other's food and drinking each other's water, too. Hey, if it works, don't fix it, right?

tarasgirl06 I can't view the photos, it just says "error". Try again maybe? I'd love to see a photo of the handsome new kid, and I'm so happy that he and Elvis are already happily getting along! It's so wonderful when they just fit seamlessly into your house like they were meant to be there, isn't it?

Same, I get a 404 "can't view on this server" message.

I get a Sign In to google photos so I won't view them.

Ditto!

tarasgirl06 We'd love to see Mr. Fluffy Fluff. Can you upload the pics since we are eagerly waiting with anticipation?

 

[Margot Lane]

The anticipation is killing me. The drumroll, the suspense. Photos of Fluffy, pleaazzzeee!

PS Also I think it’s so sweet you kept his shelter name. How kind of you to take on another one: knowing you, he cannot be more loved.

I wasn't able to do anything with pix for months. I run WIN11Pro and there are a lot of problems associated with that. Everything is monetized and I can't afford to spend $$$ on everything. Google Photos has meant I can share photos, but I guess, from what everyone is saying, only with those who sign in to the platform, so I guess sharing here is off the table. Sorry about that. I was really looking forward to sharing!

Is it your phone that's on Windows and giving trouble, tarasgirl06 ?

No trouble on this end. It's an iPhone and yes, I'm running WIN11Pro on PC.

…well, we got to see your boy on Daftcat’s thread! I can’t wait to hear more. Your (or our) photo struggles got me to thinking of another thread: “Can you draw your cat?” It might be fun to see everyone’s renditions.

No time to draw, which is sad as I was trained as an artist. My adult life just doesn't allow for it in these frenetic times. I would love to be able to share photos and of course I do all the time on my phone to others' phones. The monetization of photo-sharing apps is something I don't choose to participate in, though, outside of Google Photos. Those who are signed in to it can view the photos.

You should be able to upload straight from your photo library on the phone, then - no need for Google photos to be involved. I do it straight from my photo library on my phone or iPad.

Something going on since I installed WIN11Pro and I'm not the only one affected by this. There are videos on YouTube about it; the Windows community has user complaints about it and they say they're "aware" of the problem but of course have not fixed it and probably won't. I used to have no problem but now? I give.

It's always the way, isn't it? Apple never fixes things like woeful system updates either.

Do you use TCS on Safari on your phone? You could avoid Windows altogether by uploading straight from your photo library on the phone. Fiddly because of the screen size, but no need for any photo sharing platform.

I haven't used Windows in years, but I remember it turning to rubbish with Windows 10. Sounds like it's not improved since!

Oh, WIN11 is MUCH worse and all of these huge corporations are monetizing everything. No wonder the government is trillions in debt and personal debt is out of control. Keep buying! and don't worry about paying it back!
No, I don't want to do that. That's why I have a desktop.

Similar to why I never used Photoshop. Adobe have been thieving so-and-so's for decades.
Windows got it right with XP iirc, but not since!

Yeah, XP was great. 7 wasn't bad, either. Of course I bypassed 8, and wasn't real happy with 10Pro but time and IT wait for no one. I held off on 11Pro for as long as I thought possible, but again...and now, having grown up with and worked in IT most of my life, and loved it for the most part, I'm feeling very unhappy every time I venture into my office.
Anyway, Mr. Fluffy and I just got off a frenetic game of da Mouse. Elvis, being 16 and of a calmer demeanor, didn't play, but did come out and observe. When I inadvertently got the lure too close to him, he hissed as Mr. Fluffy barrelled after it, but no harm done. This boy has enough energy for a whole colony of kittens.

The descriptions of MFF are worth a thousand pictures. Enjoying getting to know his personality.

Awwwwwwww, TYSM! I love pix and I love sharing. IDK what the problem is and wish I COULD share, but as a writer I am at least able to provide some descriptions. Mr. Fluffy is a one-cat wrecking crew! He's clumsy and he barrels right in wherever he wants to go. For the most part this is okay, except in the office here, where I've had to yell and clap my hands at him. There are few places off limits -- the IT Dept. is one "NO, Mr. Fluffy! NO NO!!!"
