Does anyone remember Pinots kittens?

26 replies

I haven't posted on here for many years so it's a long shot I know, but does anyone remember my kitten rescuing thread?

We lost our beautiful boy cat yesterday and I logged in hoping to reminisce his crazy start to life... I have found the thread in Classics but I can't see any of the photos I uploaded back then.

Can anyone help?

I'm desperate to save all their kitten photos - the originals are on a laptop long gone. Any help massively appreciated- can't believe he's gone.

Girl cat is still with us and is a complete dictator. We have no choice but to worship at her service.

Thanks all.

Hi OP

So sorry for the loss. Can you send us a link to the thread? We'll see if there's a reason photos aren't showing. Flowers

Hi OP

We really can't tell why the images that were once there aren't showing, so we don't think we'll be of much help. Really sorry. Flowers

Oh that's sad Sad

Thanks for trying.

On no. I am so sorry your boy cat died.
I remember reading about your kittens when I joined MN. It was the kittens and the sinister Easter bonnet that drew me in.
My lovely cat died back in May, I miss him every day.

PolkadotsAndMoonbeams · 20/08/2021 01:27

I do, it was one of the first threads I followed. Sorry to hear about Boycat. Flowers

In 2011 would photos not have been on your profile, rather than in the thread itself?

TanteRose · 20/08/2021 02:54

Agree with @PolkadotsAndMoonbeams

We couldn't attach photos to threads until fairly recently...?

TanteRose · 20/08/2021 02:57

Oh wait, I just looked at the thread and it says you uploaded photos
Confused
I'm obviously very old...10 years ago is "fairly recently" apparently ConfusedGrin

SaskiaRembrandt · 20/08/2021 05:17

i remember your kittens! I'm so sorry to hear about Boycat.

EmpressWitchDoesntBurn · 20/08/2021 06:56

I remember too. So sorry, Pinot.

PolkadotsAndMoonbeams · 20/08/2021 14:55

I think (reading again) they were uploaded to Pinot's profile though, so if @LilyMumsnet looked at the coding for the thread they'd have never been there in the first place so wouldn't show (if you see what I mean).

It's whether MNHQ can still access uploads to profiles or not.

We're checking to see if this is something we can do - will be back when we know more!

I remember, sorry to hear about Boycat, I hope you can get your photos Flowers

TurquoiseBaubles · 20/08/2021 22:56

I was on that thread as well [nostalgic]. That was before threads were limited to 1000 and pages were limited to 100, you could read the thread like a book.

Sorry about boy cat. I'm sure he had a wonderful life.

Oh Pinot. I'm so sorry.

Wolfiefan · 22/08/2021 22:26

Keeping my fingers crossed for you OP. Hoping MN can work their magic. I’m so very sorry for your loss.

That’s what I was thinking. You used to click on your name and the pictures were there.

@ShowOfHands

Oh Pinot. I'm so sorry.
Hello Showy, you lovely love. Hope you’re well.

Thank you everyone for being so sweet & understanding. Bit of a cheek I realise, coming back after so long and being all messy. Normal sassy service will be resumed soon I hope
