Hi,Forty Wiskers Here!

Hi everyone im a newbie,just joined today. Ive always had cats as pets although all the cats ive ever had have been a whisker short of a full set! My two girls are Tabitha and Daisy,there are rescue cats and are 18 month old and are sisters,although they dont look or act like it. Tabitha is (obviously a tabby) and Daisy looks like a moo cow! hence the name.We have had them since they were 6 month and it's worse than having a couple of kids around the place! Tabitha likes to steal things (ANYTHING AT ALL) and hide them under my husband's pillow.And daisy is a mummy's girl,she sleeps in my arms,like a baby! She is also nuts! She loves watching shun the sheep childrens program and playing fetch the mouse.


Take care everyone :rub

Hi, thanks for such a warm welcome. I cant wait to get the hang of things! Ive signed up to Photobucket? but dont know what to do with it, or how to put pictures on here? or if anyone would be interested in looking at them? Am i right in thinking i can't put pics on here yet as im a "kitten"? (thats so cool, i told tabbi and daisy im a kitten,they didn't look impressed!) If anyone can help me with any of the above i would be so greatful,so would Daisy,she glued to the screen looking at the cat pictures!


Thanx again for the welcome
caitsith,Tabbi and Daisy

Your kitties sound like such sweetie! Welcome to the forum!

If you upload a picture into photobucket, you can hover over the thumbnail, in the full album view, and a box will show up at the bottom of the picture. Highlight the text in the box next to 'IMG Code' and copy it. Then you can paste it in the post box, here. Click preview (or 'Go Advanced' if you are using 'Quick Reply') to check and see if it worked then go ahead and post!

I hope that helps! Can't wait to see pictures!

Yep, you right click to copy. Now, you can click on the text box and then right click and select 'paste'. A bunch of words will show up but if you click 'preview' you should see an image show up.

That's ok!

Let's start from the beginning...

1. Upload a photo into photobucket.

2. Hover over the photo and when a box appears at the bottom of the photo highlight and copy the text next to 'Img Code'

3. Go to the thread you would like to post the picture in and click the 'post reply' button.

4. In the text box right click and hit 'paste'. A line of words (which is the text you selected from photobucket) should show up.

5. At the bottom of the text box you will have 2 options. 'Submit Reply' or 'Preview Post'. You can select either but I like to select 'preview post' because it lets me make sure the picture is correct.

5. If you select 'preview post' and the image looks good, then scroll down and select "Submit Reply"

Hope that helps!

Welcome to TCS! I am trying to figure out what a whisker short of a full set means. Your phrase of forty whiskers also has me wondering. Do all cats have 40 whiskers? Does that mean 20 on each side? Do your cats only have 39 whiskers? I am very baffled over this and when I get off the site later on, I am going to count each of my cats' whiskers!

Now that I have that behind me, your cats sound delightful! Some pictures would be nice once you learn your way around TCS. Again, Welcome to our site, you have found the best cat site around. And now, I need to find Persi so I can count his whiskers!

Oh my god! im sorry i have never laughed so much! SORRY Stop right now,before you count your cat's whiskers!! Regarding 'A whisker short of a full set" Have you ever heard the saying "a can short of a six pack'? Or "a sandwhich short of a picnic'? it's a saying( the whiskers i made up myself) that refers to the person(or cat!) not being quite ALL THERE as in daft,stupid,nuts etc. The forty whiskers i also made up but that refers to someone having a nap,snooze,sleep.The original saying is "Forty winks" but i changed to to whiskers. i hope this clears up your confusion and prevents you spending the next 6 hrs trying to keep you cat still long enough to count it's whiskers!

Yep, just one entry per month. But if you have multiple pictures and you aren't sure which one is best, just create a thread with the pictures and ask. Also, if you enter a photo but change your mind, you can always change your entry so long as it is before the deadline to enter pictures.

I have the game but one disc is missing, it got left behind when I split up with my ex. I keep hoping that it'll get re-released at some point, it has the best storyline I've ever come across in a game and got me into RPGs. I challenge anyone to not get upset when Aeris dies!

OH NO! I know exactly how feel! I broke disk 2 a while ago i nearly cried! But im afraid I DO cry when aeris dies i dont know which part is worse,wether it's when sephiroth comes down and the sword goes into her or when he removes it or the rest of it! Red XIII is cool two.

I think Red XIII and Aeris are my favourites, I always thought Cloud would have been better off being with Aeris than Tifa... before she dies of course.

I love the Cosmo Canyon music too... getting nostalgic now! *sniff*
