New Cat from Cape Cod

Hi there and Happy Valentines Day, I might add!

I just joined your lovely forum today. I've never been on a forum, so there will be a bit of a learning curve for me. I will attempt to add some photos of my beloved kitties, Gizmo (girl cat) and Strider (boy cat).

I need to spend some more time on your site and threads so I can add something intelligent, but I do have a few questions also regarding particular quirks about my cats.

Ok, here goes with the photos...well, that didn't work! Guess that's the first thing I need to figure out!

I have to say I have really enjoyed looking at the photos of your cats here. I have friends who forward me cat pics and videos all the time. My husband poo-poos these "forwards", and then gets all caught up in them himself.

Looking forward to becoming better aquainted with you and your site!
Have a purrfect day....

Welcome

For pictures.

First sign up with photobucket.com it's free.

Second: upload your pictures to your photobucket account.

Third: copy the img code, and paste it into your post on here, and submit it. You won't see the picture until you hit submit.

Welcome to you and your fur-mily!!! I've been to the Cape (years ago) and loved it!!! Can't wait to see pics of your kitties. cheryl

Thanks so much for your welcome and help! I did figure out the photobucket thing and am working on the rest.

The Cape has been a real life upgrade for all of us...the cats just love it! Its wonderful to see them so a part of the outdoors now (with adult supervision)...they're like different cats, in a good way, because of it.
Of course, there's the other, not so good part, like ticks and various bites and whatnot. When I'm more sorted out with this, I do have some questions related to this sort of thing, as well as diet and behavior...nothing urgent, just issues of which I'd like to have a better understanding and to hear others experiences.

Thanks again!

Welcome from just a little west of you!

Thank you everyone!
AbbysMom...your cats look similar to mine; a calico and a gray...I'll get those photo's up!! Are you on the Cape?

Is there a way to respond to an individual post or do I just hit the "reply to thread" button at the bottom of the page? Is there a PC protocol?

You sure can.
Look in the lower right corner of the reply you want to respond to...
you will see a blue "quote" button. Click that -
it will open a reply window with a quote from the person you are replying to, just like my reply to you now.

I hope I did this right! Gizmo is the calico-I'm her person. We have a really special relationship and just adore each other. She likes to sing when my husband plays the guitar. She's quite on tune actually. We need to make a video to put on Youtube.

Strider is the grey bad boy-my husband is his person. He's a real clown. He acts like a real tough guy, but still sucks his toe at night, something he did as a kitten. It's incredibly endearing and almost makes you forget that he can quite the bully to Gizmo when he's not getting his way. Something I'll come back to for advice...

BTW, If I do something wrong, technically or otherwise, please let me know as I'm still trying to figure this all out.

Lets see if this worked...
I'm having trouble with photos that I resize in fotobucket but still come out huge when I paste them onto this site...

No, I'm on the coast, but closer to Providence.
