She's looking good.

Not bad for an old 'un!

Was that taken with your new camera?

Yes, I'm having a lot of fun with it. I need to get an AC power adapter
for
it though - it wasn't included - as it takes a lot of juice from the
batteries uploading. I went back to town yesterday to get one, but the
shop
didn't have one, gave me a card with "where to get accessories from" but
no
luck there either.
I probably won't upload any more until I can get the mains adapter. It's
a
steep learning curve for me, and I want to experiment with various ways of
uploading to the web to share pics without keep bothering poor patient
Lori
to put them up for me, thanks Lori ;-)

No problem! It takes me all of 90 seconds to do and I don't mind at all -
don't hesitate to ask!

Hugs,

CatNipped

I need to have my camera plugged in
to the PC for this. I can almost hear it draining the batteries g I've
already had to change them..

I know a lot of you have probably had digital cameras for ages and it's
all
old hat and taken for granted. However, this is my very first one and I
have wanted one for ages but having so much illness over the last 5 years
and being off work I dare not spend anything that was not absolutely
necessary.

The money for it came to me in an unexpected and miraculous way via this
group which I don't want to expand on. Also some extra so I don't have to
go back to work until Aug 31st though my money ran out on the 15th, which
gives me more time to recover which has taken a weight off my mind.
This group is truly..what? Caring, generous, sympathetic, all that and
more. I would say wonderful and unique.

She's my tiny tuxedo terrorist and she *is* fantastic! Sometimes :-P

Both KFC and Boyfriend have such cute round faces. Boy, KFC sure does look
good for an old gal.

Would strongly recommend getting 2 sets of rechargeable batteries +
battery charger instead, if the price is similar - then you have them if
you want to take it away with you anywhere where an AC adaptor would not
be practical. Also more ecologically sound than using disposable batts
all the time - and economical. I got mine from Maplin online - very
reasonable.

Awww. She looks a lot like Nikki.


I know. I was in two minds whether to share KFC's pic in case it upset you
as they look similar. I hope you don't mind that I decided to.
I'm quite proud of the way she looks as she is old. She is pretty healthy
and active for an old cat, but whether she is as old as TED estimated (18, a
year ago), I don't really know and she won't share her knowledge with me ;-)
I would guess myself that she is around 15 or 16. 19 seems too old for how
she is.
She does sleep a lot, true. She likes her comfort in the winter and hardly
ever goes out when it's cold, except for toilet duties. She comes into her
own when the weather is warm, then she is out a lot of the time and catches
*big* birdies, collared doves, brings them into my kitchen and eats them all
up. Particularly so if I am late with her breakfast.. Like "GET UP EARLY
to feed me or find the kitchen full of feathers!"
She lived outside for years and earned her own living in my garden after she
decided her hoomins were just not deserving of her. I know where she came
from. I also know her name was "Lucky"

I'm useless at naming. Hence my cat's names ;-)

Kitty Farmcat is WAY better than "Lucky". Sounds like some big doggie name.
(Nothing wrong with that, it's just not a cat name. Grant was also "Lucky"
before he came to me.)

still.

Of course I don't mind. I'm glad you posted a pic of her. She is
beautiful. I do miss Nikki every day, but I'm getting to the point I can
talk about her without bursting ino tears, and I can think of fond
memories. From your descriptions of Kitty FC, they were long-lost twin
sisters. )

It's possible. Nikki still had a kitten's face when she passed away, and
she was nearly 17. She didn't act nearly as old as Frank does. He sleeps
most of the time, but Nikki was much more active and alert right up to
the end.

I'm planning on doing this, but I'd still like an AC adapter too. Uploading
just drains batteries too much.
I'm still reasonably up on the ecological stuff as I used to work for
Environ
http://www.environ.org.uk/

I have a woodburner as my main heat source, I compost almost everything or
recycle it in some way. I burn a lot of what I can't and the ashes get dug
back into my garden as potash. It's hardly worth the refuse collectors
calling to empty my bin.

(Unlike my next-door neighbour, 2 adults, one child aged 2 nearly 3, still
in disposable nappies) Their bin is just not big enough for them and they
asked me if they could put some nappies in my almost empty bin. I said no.
Firstly, their child is old enough to be toilet trained, and I told them
that, but said if you want to keep your boy in nappies, why not take
advantage of the service that provides towelling nappies, collects the dirty
and wet ones, and brings them all clean and fresh back to your house at no
more cost than disposables?
That didn't go down well. We are still friends, though phew it is such a
bad idea to fall out with your next-door neighbour! They are still not
allowed to put the nappies in my almost empty bin though. I told them they
need to reduce their waste. I was a little sneaky too. I told them that
disposable nappies were such a disaster for the environment that it can

I am (in)famous for going around turning lights off at work that I think
aren't necessary.
I am going to excuse myself for wanting a mains adapter for my new digital
camera that I have coveted for so long ;-)

I've thought about getting a battery charger that plugs into the
computer's USB port, if I'm using the computer anyway it doesn't use any
more electricity to charge some batteries.
