The Phantom Kat *appears* ~ Boots, da Kat, Photos!!

[Cinder & Smoke]

EDIT ~

The LONG-missing Kat Shotz are returning...

After *many* conversations with ImageStation;
they finally suggested that they'd had a problem -
and the original album was "probably" lost - forever. :mad:

Sooooo... we've RE-built the album.
After I "fix" the links; we'll post the Album Address following the
Second Post window of "Kat Shotz".

NOTE: Anyone who *copied* a photo into their reply post ~
will have to "Copy" the NEW Kat Shot Address and then "EDIT"
their post - because all photos have New Addresses.
~~ Sorry bout dat~ ~~

[rg_girlca]

Well, well, well. What an honor to finally meet you Boots.
Your dad has kept you hidden wwaaaayyyy too long.
What a very handsome fella you are.
I truly enjoyed seeing all your adorable pictures.
Hope to see more of you in the near future. (Hint, hint)

[zippy-kat]

:D A very handsome kitterkat!

What wonderful, wonderful piccies... Bootsie, dear, you're so handsome. Why most you hide from the clicker box?:confused:

skritchies,
Zip

[jazzcat]

The Infamous Boots - Gorgeous!!!!

[slick]

:o :o Dear Boots: I'm so embarrassed to say that I thought for awhile that you were a figment of your Daddy's imagination but now I see that you are real; and a real hunk of a cat you are. Why doesn't Daddy post more pictures of you? Is it because of that Smoke and Cinder? Those D-O-G's seem to take over all of Pet Talk, don't they? Well, I for one, think that you are one handsome kitty and this well-deserved thread of your own is long overdue.

Kisses to you Bootsie and I hope to see you more often. **hint hint**

[krazyaboutkatz]

Boots sure is gorgeous. I agree that you must continue to post more pictures of him. He's very photogenic.:)

[shais_mom]

I have to agree with Slick, I was starting to think that Phred was off the proverbial rocker!!! :p
Oh Wait.....
never mind


:p

Boots you are a special kitty!! SOOOOOO handsome and what cattitude!!! :p

[Killearn Kitties]

Look!! Boots is a real flesh-n-fur cat! And a very handsome one at that! What a manly look he has about him. :D

Don't be so shy of that camera sweetheart.

[catmandu]

The Found Cats all Love Boots,an JJJ3,wants to come over,and share the treats,as he,is on a diet!

[gini]

Boots, I know how you feel about that camera. Mom finds me curled up with Annie and Emma and she gets the urge to take pictures of us.

All it takes is that little chirpy sound her camera makes when you turn it on and I AM OUTTA HERE!!

You are a good lookin' Dude, Boots.

Regards, Rascal

[Cinder & Smoke]

:eek:

Dad sez "WADE a Minnit, here!!" ...

Took Poor ole Dad a while;
but he searched out summa da OLD Posts...

Dis "Doubt" about our Phantom Kat haz been runnin *rampant*
(jest like da KAT duz) -
since WAY Back in 2001...

Here'z TWO Threads frum December, 2001 -
when a *SKINNIER* Boots made a Photo Shoot Appearance >>>

"Cat Christmas Carol" (Dec, 2001) (http://PetoftheDay.com/talk/showthread.php?s=&threadid=5439) ... AND ...

"It's Phred's Boots!!!" (By Edwina's Secretary) (http://PetoftheDay.com/talk/showthread.php?s=&threadid=5486)
Fist line of dat 2001 Post =
"Like many I have longed wondered about Boots.
Is he like the rabbit in the movie "Harvey" perhaps?
Well, the mystery has been solved.
There are genuine (so they appear anyway --
a little fuzzy like those photos in the grocery store rags ...)
photos of Boots now on page 1 of Cat Christmas Carol!"

Now we DO Admit - doze Pix have been RE-posted -
they were Originally stored on "PhotoGray" -
a LONG-defunct photo site...

Dad-e-Oh dug up the "O-Riginal" (very *FUZZIE* :o ) hard-drive copies
an stuck em on ImageStation - then "edited" the old posts! :p

We **DO** Havva KAT! (Anna :eek: Klaw Scarz ta PROVE IT!) :p
.

[AmberLee]

I have always believed in Boots.

Granted, friends accuse me of being as gullible as a trout... :rolleyes: ;)

[Killearn Kitties]

So after reading through these old threads, it is clear to me that people have ALWAYS doubted poor Boots' existence!!! :eek: Does that not tell you something Phred? WE DON'T SEE ENOUGH PICTURES OF HIM!

I know you have a lousy internet connection, as I do, but just one picture every so often? Please?

[Logan]

:( Boots, all your pictures look the same to me. X

[momoffuzzyfaces]

:(
For some reason, I can't see the pictures right now. But I know Boots is real. I have seen pictures in the past!

I'll be back and check later or tomorrow. Sometimes different times of the day work better for pictures. I don't know why!

Anyway, it was so good to hear from you Boots!:D

[ChrisH]

I can't see the pictures either. :(

[Logan]

Bumping this up to make sure that we don't forget about it when the pics are back!!! :)

[AmberLee]

*bumpity-bump-bump!*

[neko1]

Still red x's....so sad:(

[smokey the elder]

I can't see the pics either-grr! I thought it was the firewall but I can usually see pics here at work.

[emily_the_spoiled]

Okay, I am glad that I am not the only person having problems seeing the pictures. All I get are the red X's :confused:

[DogLover9501]

Ive been checking to see if I can see these everyday, still can't :(

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

Wow, did I luck out! I saw the pics the other day before they were little red x's. I couldn't believe I was really seeing Boots pics, and now that they're gone, maybe it's confirming that he really is a phantom cat! ;) :D

Maybe Phred is switching them over somewhere else because imagestation is working again.....

[gini]

I was lucky enough to catch the photos the day they were showing up.

This must be driving Phred nuts. He went to a lot of trouble.

Is it just Imagestation? I have some older photos on this board and they can be viewed. What causes this to happen?

ImageStation went "bannannaz" moments later! :mad:

Somehow only this latest album of my collection got *picked on* -
and before I copied the Album Home Page Address!

Now I'm getting QUITE Tired of hearing the SAME pet phrases from
the Tech Support group at IS...

1) OH MY; we hven't had THAT problem report!
2) Oh, "the Techs" are "working on that RITE NOW!" :rolleyes:
3) We've been told that's "fixed" - "Try it again"...
4) Must be your browser
5) Call us back if it continues to be a problem for ya

:mad:

I guess it's "tyme" for the Tuesday Morning call to Tech Excuses :p

Hello Boots the Kat,

I am glad that Dad figured out what the problem was. I have been waiting for many days to see your very handsome face. You should let Dad take a few more pictures (and of course you will get more treats ;) )

[prechrswife]

Boots is a very handsome fellow!

[lizzielou742]

I can see them YAY!!!!!

BOOTS this is the first time I have seen you and let me say, you are STUNNING!!! I love his white whiskers. Looks like a very healthy and happy cat. Certainly not a phantom!!!

Boots, tell your dad to post more pics of you! ;)

[Ally Cat's Mommy]

Boots - you have been hiding your gorgeous self for FAR TOO LONG!!! What a HUNK you are!!!

Ally was quite taken with your handsome features, but I told her she may be wiser to pick a beau who plays a *little* less HARD TO GET!!! (So she doesn't get a broken heart again)!;)

[ChrisH]

Yay!!! I can see Boots pictures!! :D :D :D And what a gorgeous, handsome boy he is! :)

Phred, thanks for persevering! :)

[lynnestankard]

Lynne

[Edwina's Secretary]

You know it's funny, since we so rarely see Boots!!!! I forget he is a tuxedo and think of him as the same color as the dogs!

Thank you for finally reminding me what a beauty he is!

[momoffuzzyfaces]

I SEE BOOTS!!!!! ALL OF HIS PICTURES!!!
HAPPY DANCE!!! HAPPY DANCE!!!:D

Well, Boots it was certainly worth the wait to see your handsome face! Tell your dad THANKS FOR NOT GIVING UP!!!:D

[Vio&Juni]

OMG, be still my heart! Boots, da Kat is one of the most handsome cats in the whole world!

[Barbara]

Boots like our Tigris is a cat who could never be mistaken for a girl!

Predictable that Vio would fall for him:D
