Mia

I`ve got your email address Soop, it`s my windows mail that`s not working right now.

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.

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

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.

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

Yay! I'll take a look.

Hey, it worked! Thank you Soop! xxx

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!

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.

Aw, Soop, that`s lovely! How do you post your pics so large? I`m going to email you some pics of Mia, just in case you really do feel like painting her.

Oooh, off to have a look!

number...I've uploaded the painting [unframed] of Gally's Charlie. x

Lucid - I hadn't thought of that...

I was going to call my next cat (the one I never got round to) Parker because they're pretty nosy beasts. And the Swahili for cat is 'Paka'.

Good suggestions number and we did try all those (personally I like Dorian but OH didn't) .
Marelli - not sure I'd like to shout that name down the garden

We had 2 cats (Ozzy and Mia) from the local rescue centre 2 years ago but last Christmas Ozzy died of a mysterious respiratory illness. It was very sudden and despite rushing him to the veterinary hospital he died....we were so upset. It's upsetting when an elderly pet dies but Ozzy was only a year old. It has taken us a long while to feel up to having another cat...Mia seemed very depressed for quite a while.

We're thinking maybe Marley....as he does wail a bit, especially when Mia is is sight.

Same here. Not sure how I became 'catless'....would never have imagined life without one years ago.

I was going through old photos today with GD and came across some old shots of my cats - long since gone - Sam (black) and Sandy (ginger). It made me realise how much I miss having cats.

Dick (as in Turpin, because of his 'mask) !

How about,
Dorian (Gray)
Earl (Grey)
Dusty
Smokey

Will do Soop, but she`s not feeling sociable right now, runs and hides whenever anybody moves.
Trying to think of names for your kitten Lucid.

Okey dokey number take a few good close-up pics of Mia. Good light essential. I'll see what I can do.

I've enjoyed reading this thread as we have a little torty/tabby cat called Mia. She came to live with us almost 2 years ago and she is gorgeous. Yesterday we were given a grey and white male kitten (a friend who was looking after him couldn't keep him any longer and we offered him a home). So far he is settling in well, although Mia is definitely not impressed and fluffs up her tail and hisses at him. We are trying to decide what to call him....any suggestions? He is mainly white with a grey tail, grey patches on his back and a grey 'batman' mask and the most gorgeous mushroom coloured eyes.

Sounds like a bit of a floozy! Lily is definitely a baggage! She is a very "girly" cat, she will sit halfway up the stairs to try to stop Digby coming up.

I was saying to Mr P that little boys (of the human variety) are very direct, they will just walk up to another child that they have decided they don't like and either thump them or push them over. Girls tend to be a bit more subtle or even devious on occasions. Lily is a very "girly " cat.

Daisy pole-dances round the garden canes.....!

Our Lily will not be brushed. But then, she also goes through phases were she wont be looked at, either. Like I say, special needs.

One of these days I'll work out how to upload photos!
