Cat names

[nemechek]

Hi- I'm new to the list. I'm a cat lover of Bengals, rescues and just about any thing that purrs. I'm getting a new seal mink marble bengal, and I need some help naming him! Got any ideas? I had named him Hot Flashes, but another person took my name, so now I need to find a new one....here's his pictures! He's the one looking up. I can't get it to show up in my message....how do I do that? but here it is attached.

A very opened armed warm welcome to Pet Talk, nemechek! We are happy you decided to join our little community. Your kitty is very cute and as for names, well I'm very creatively challenged but I'm sure others will come up with wonderful ideas. Post as many pictures as you like. We love 'em.

Welcome Jessica, here are some copied instructions on how to post pictures. I do not know how to link a prior post so I had to copy the instructions for you. (Can you tell I'm on the new side as well).

POSTING PICTURES on Pet Talk; class 101
Pet Talk's "Posting Pictures; 101" created 10/24/2001; revised 1/20/2002;
Further Revised on 1/14/2003.

Please NOTE:
These steps mention http://www.ImageStation.com/index.html and use examples of my photos from ImageStation.com;
but the Basic Steps are valid for any photo stored on any internet server.

AND... My Operating System is Windows 98, Second Edition;
my Browser is NetScape version 4.78.
IF your Op System and/or Browser are different, then the steps you must
take might be slightly different!

That said; remember that the Code Lines shown as examples are what
you must end up with for your pictures to post properly on Pet Talk ~ just
remember that there are NOT to be ANY spaces or {*} in a line of code!
Those spaces and {*} you see were put there to prevent the Pet Talk software from
treating those lines as "valid" instruction codes. Without those extra spaces
or {*} you could not have seen the code ~ the BBS would have made a picture.

Here are the *steps* to follow ~ AFTER you have your pictures uploaded to a site
such as http://www.ImageStation.com.

---------------------------------------------

Start a post here on Pet Talk;

Point the arrow/cursor Inside the pop-up address block;

Internet Explorer does it Differently than NetScape!

Here's the steps to post a picture on Pet Talk using the Internet Explorer Browser...

** Open a Pet Talk post in one window; and your Photo Hosting web page in another window.
Display the Thumbnail or next size up photo that you want to post.

* Point to Properties

~~~ It will Start with "ht tp:// and End with ".jpg"
*Put the cursor on the "H" in http
* HOLD DOWN the LEFT-mouse clicker and
* Scroll across the whole address - get it ALL highlighted (it might take up two lines).
* Release the left mouse button
~~ You should now have Highlighted the whole address
* POINT to the highlighted address
* RIGHT-click on the highlighted address
~~ Another drop-down will appear with "Copy" an active item
*POINT to and RIGHT-click on the word "Copy"
~~~ You have now memorized the photo location address

It will have an [im g] in front of and an [/im g] behind the address.

Now for the real thing:
"GranMom and her FurKids at the Village on 1/27/02...


"Yep, that's GranMom hiding behind the shades!"
Rest In Peace, Mom.

--------------------------------------------

Signature Photos...
ImageStation.com Thumbnail sized photos (the size displayed on your Index Pages) make great signature photos.
The steps to code a photo into you signature file (located on your profile page)
are exactly the same as outlined above.
-----------------------------
Open up your profile with "Edit Profile".

Find the "Signature Message Block" - looks sorta like a regular posting message fill-in box.
Work in that box JUST LIKE it was a message you were composing for a post.
You can type words above, in front of, behind, and below your photos.
You can BOLD or ItalicI words with the [b ]..[/b ] and [i ]..[/i ] codes.

Anyway - do it JUST LIKE a post =
Open ImageStation.com to see the Album Page where ALL your photos are stored as THUMBNAILS.

You WANT to use a THUMBNAIL sized photo - anything else will be too big.

Internet Expolrer users follow the steps given above^^
NetScape Steps follow below:

Go to your ImageStation album and Find the Thumbnail Photo you want to use,
RIGHT-click on the Thumbnail; Click copy image location;
Go back to the Signature message entry box;
Type in [IM G]then Right-click, select PASTE;
RIGHT-click again and watch the photo location address appear;
immediately follow the address with the closing[/IM G]

If you want more than one thumbnail in the sig - read carefully!
Skip one or two spaces after the FIRST "closing [/IM G] thingy", then
ON THE SAME LINE make another [IM G]thingy;
go back to webshots and do all the Right-clicks on your next Thumbnail;
come back to the sig entry block and Right-click PASTE the second thumbnail right
after the second "opening[IM G] thingy";
finish that address with another [/IM G].

You can stack up 4 or 5 thumbnails ON THE SAME LINE IN the entry box -
the box will just scroll across so you never run out of room.
Just make certain that EVERY photo is enclosed in it OWN set of
[IM G]&[/IM G] code brackets.

This all takes a little trial and error experimenting.
Go to the "try your sig here" post, in [General], I think, and practice away.
Keep EDITING the same post in that topic so you don't fill the page with
bad attempts. Every time you edit your sig and try a new arrangement,
the sig will update in the post you're practicing on.
---------------------------------
ThumbNail example of the picture from above...


The code line for this Thummy looks like this...

d681ad51f6dd757/fca3b43d.jpg.thumb.jpg[/IM G]

--------------------------------
If you want to display a photo in the body of a post, use the next size larger
photo - the one you'll get by clicking on the Thumbnail photo.
----------------------------------

Final Note:
If you are on a ImageStation page, you do NOT want to *copy* the location in your
browser window - which is showing the address of a ImageStation PAGE, not your photo.

Usually, a Right-click on the actual Photo will get you a drop-down box with
the choice of "Copy Image Location", which you select and click.
No drop-down box? Can't *copy* and *paste* ? Try this:

1) Highlight the address by holding down the mouse button and moving the
pointer across the address you want to copy; release button.
2) Depress & hold "CONTROL" key and the "C" keys at the same time; then release both.
3) Move to where you want to insert or paste the address.
4) Depress & hold "CONTROL" key and the "V" keys at the same time;
the address should pop up in the new location
---------------------------------

OK, Folks; Picture Posting 101 class is over for tonight!
If I've managed to totally confuse you ~ send me an
e-mail at: [email protected] and I'll try to un-confuse you

I hope that helps.

Now, on to the other important business....that new adorable addition.

I like the names Jagger, Bentley, and Tyson.

Welcome to Pet Talk nemechek. Your new kitten sure is cute. I'm not sure what you should name him but I'm sure that some one will be able to help you.

Hi and welcome to Pet Talk!

Your kitten is gorgeous! When I opened the pic, my mind just thought "Cubby" (pronounced "cub ee") - dont know why but hee/she just reminds me of the little naughty character Cubby in the Gummi Bears cartoon
