Well, we collected her this afternoon, but she`s awfully timid, has spent ages hiding behind the fridge freezer, came out for food, then cowered in the bathroom, behind the toilet. We`re not forcing her, she`ll come out in her own time.

number sweetie pie, send plenty of pics. A white cat will be tricky to paint. For you, anything's possible. Back in a mo to tell you how to enlarge.

soop Sat 20-Oct-12 16:25:04

Right! Have uploaded a woodland scene. Before pressing STORE, go to resize. I usually enter 450 [doesn't seem to matter] and the picture is enlarged. Then hit store. Try it!

Hey, it worked! Thank you Soop! xxx

soop Sat 20-Oct-12 16:44:11

Yay! I'll take a look. grin

numberplease Sat 20-Oct-12 16:44:16

Soop, can`t send pics at the moment, my mail is up the spout, will try later.

soop Sat 20-Oct-12 16:48:30

Such a show-off and adorable with it! If you can send images [as attachments] to my email address that would be helpful. I'll pm my address.

Getting carried away now, have put another one on, lol!!

soop Sat 20-Oct-12 16:52:52

Mia is a real beauty. I shall do my best for you. Send attachments by email when you have several from which I may choose the best. flowers

Meant to say earlier, in the post this morning there was a lovely condolence card from the vet`s surgery, that was very nice of them.

Marelli Sun 21-Oct-12 09:27:13

Oh number, when my wee Lucky had to be put to sleep, the vets sent me a card as well. All the nurses who had worked with Lucky had signed it, and there was a lovely message. I've put it in my memory box. I was only able to read it once. Even now I can't look at it. However..(!) ....at the moment Daisy is attacking her garden cane, which is stuck in the grass. She paws at the bottom of it and watches the top of it wagging about....2 magpies are in the oak tree watching her. It's a lovely sight actually, because the tree is now golden and the sun is shining! smile

Marelli, my card is going to go in the Pepper box, it has his food bowls, favourite toy, medical records and microchip number, plus a photo of him, now the card`s going in there.
Mia seems to ha ve decided to be the man of the house`s cat, she hangs around him all the time, flippin` ignores me! I keep telling her to remember who feeds her and cleans out her litter tray, but he still gets all the adoration. To think that before Pepper he was a staunch animal hater!

Marelli Sun 21-Oct-12 20:06:37

number - it could be the making of the man! You never know wink!

numberplease Sun 21-Oct-12 20:46:32

Bit late for that Marelli!

numberplease Thu 15-Nov-12 18:10:00

I started to let Mia go outside yesterday for the first time, but was on pins till she came back in, even though it was only a few minutes! Today she disappeared for an hour and a quarter, heaven knows where to! Because of what happened to Pepper, I think I`ll worry every time she goes out.

Marelli Thu 15-Nov-12 18:55:10

I know what you mean, number! She'll be having a look round, and sussing out her territory though - that'll be why she was out longer this time. She'll be fine. smile

soop Fri 16-Nov-12 13:57:22

number although the photo that I have of Mia with her toy, is lovely, she's looking down. Could you try to take a photo with her eyes fully open? I need to see the crisp [not blurred] detail in them. A white cat!!! I promise to start the portrait soon. The right pose from Mia would be most helpful. smile

Lucid with reference to not wanting to shout "Dick" down the garden, we had to change Lily's name when she first came to us at about 2 years old.

Somehow, the thought of Mr P standing on the doorstep caling "Spunky, Spunky where are you?" didn't really seem right.

numberplease Fri 16-Nov-12 16:05:31

Will do Soop.

number The latest Mia image is beautiful. I shall endeavour to get my "arty farty" hat on sometime this coming week. smile

numberplease Sun 18-Nov-12 17:46:06

I demand a photo pf you in your "arty-farty" hat Soop! Glad the pic was suitable, she doesn`t stay still for long when the camera`s about.

soop Sun 18-Nov-12 18:11:00

Mia is beautiful. I shall choose the head and shoulder pose. night night, sleep tight...moon
