    After doing the upload, you just type your comment and click ‘Post Comment’. The plugin will take care of the rest, and the photo will appear following your comment.

  3. Thanks, I’ll give that a shot when I get home.

    BTW, my fam is off to Spain to visit one of our daughters in a couple of days, so I’ll be (strangely) silent for awhile.

    No doubt I’ll hear the sighs of relief in Sevilla.

  4. Langston, deceased.

    AKA Attila, Yellow Peril. Hazard to postmen.

    ETA: Sorry. Letter Carriers.

  5. Harriet. Polar opposite to Langston.

    Most persistent eye contact I’ve seen in a cat.

  6. Those are beautiful pics, petrushka–and beautiful cats.

    Mine (a Siberian) has blue eyes.

    Would he actually go after them, or just trip them?

    My cat Frida — also a tabby — is like that too. Or was, until she went blind late last year. I miss those soul-searching gazes.

    We were Langston’s fourth family. He was a dumpster cat rescued and rejected by three others because he couldn’t be handled. He liked being petted, but would turn vicious in a heartbeat, biting and scratching. I spent several years taming him, one touch at a time.

    Yes, he attacked strangers. Unprovoked.

    About the time he became affectionate and trustworthy, he developed a nasal fungus. Very expensive treatment. well over $1500. And ineffective. Very sad.

    keiths,

    for some reason her pose reminded me of Zardoz..

    They can’t all be winners.. :/

    I had no idea Zardoz existed. I’m going to have to rethink my response to “Did anyone ever tell you that you look like …?”

  11. R.I.P. Rindgold. Rind as in orange peel.

    Another dumpster rescue. Survived nine moves, 19 years, 9/11, lost in Brooklyn, being sat upon, kidney failure, 200 pound doggy sibling, boy toddler.

  12. When we have a dog pics thread I’ll post a pic of Chus, which is short for Jesus.

  13. Mung:
    Let’s just hope you had it neutered or spayed.

    Wouldn’t want to end up with kittens.

  14. petrushka: Cats are the object of worship. They do not need to believe.

    What do they call people who merely lack belief in Cat or cats?
