I finally made it to Super Cat status so now I can make a custom avatar. The problem is, I have way too many cute pictures that could work for an avatar. I just can't decide which one to use.

I'd like some opinions. Maybe somebody else is better at making decisions than I am.


#1 Shareena, my first kitten. This one is special to me because it was the first time I saw her at 5-1/2 weeks of age.


#2 Miss Patchwillow, my second kitten. Talk about a Cheshire Cat grin!


#3 Goldy. This is the little stray I took in last summer. The other three kittens are her babies.


#4 Basket Case


#5 Iris & Cali taking a double-decker nap


#6 Lion, the potted kitten


#7 Cali--getting the stuffing hugged out of her by Iris


This is the original "Kitty Hugs". I think it makes more of an impression than just the avatar of Cali's face.


Yikes! I didn't realize how many of these I had made until I started lining them up.

I probably could if I knew how. I'm pretty good with Photoshop, but anything else on a computer is a minefield for me.

So far it's looking like Cali is in a tie with all the others put together. I'm at work right now and don't want to start messing with something I might not be able to finish. Maybe tomorrow I'll get the avatar changed.

Okay, you people are officially not helpful when you start spreading the votes out.


Maybe I can figure out how to do the rotating thing so all of them cycle through. Until then I guess they get to take turns. I'd better not get any more cats, though. They probably wouldn't live long enough to get their turn as my avatar.

Thanks, laureen. I got the premium membership after I posted this, so now I need to resize the pictures. Just haven't gotten around to doing anything with them. I know there's a way to view a slide show on photobucket but I haven't figured out if it can be transferred to the avatar link.

I sure hope you can figure out a slide show avatar because I love them all!

The large pic of Cali, that look is priceless!

that's the part i don't know how to do - icklemiss21 actually saved it & posted it for me so that i could upload it to my photobucket. from there, i put the tag in the avatar link... or maybe saved it to my computer & uploaded it from there?
anyway, i created it, but couldn't figure out either how to upload it or how to minimize the KB, one of those - but Eithne did it.
once you have one created, PM her.
