Yeah, right.

Linney is more suitable.

At least he's actually a Scottish cat.

Gizmo is an English interloper, who only came to Scotland in order to get behind my bathroom cupboard.

Try again....

I've cleared cache (everything), re-booted, it had an Android update, so I've done multiple restarts, and now it's hanging on "add image". Before this new thread, it was trying for a few seconds, then gave up. It now looks to be in a terminal loop.

Can you try a different browser?

ShoutyCatSlave · 26/09/2025 16:03

Nope. Add image is still circling.

Have you asked MNHQ, Shouty?

EmpressaurusKitty · 26/09/2025 16:52

Kitty’s just been watching a cybersecurity awareness course with me so she’ll be an expert now.

Yeah. They suggested clearing my cache, but I might report again, now I'm home and have done all the usual fixes.

I asked DS2 if my stupid husband wanted his clothes. I mean, he's been gone for ten days......
Anyway DS2 is going to facilitate giving them to H. I've told my son that I do not wish to see my husband at all.
And I don't.
I've had an email from the housing association, telling me that I need to sign a new tenancy agreement as a single person.

Presumably that means that H has found somewhere else to live.

I feel nothing but anger. Rage, even.

TheBroonOneAndTheWhiteOne · 26/09/2025 20:37

I actually wish I'd given his clothes to the village charity shop, so he'd have had to buy them all back.
I wish I'd thought of that.

Hugs and floof, Broon.

Are your images being saved on your phone as HEICs?

Mine were, for a while, and I couldn't upload any or post them anywhere.
It was maddening. The phone started doing it by itself after a routine update.

I had to change the settings so that images were saved as JPGs again.

Argh Linney has now brought me a rat.

Granted it's a baby one, but it's unmistakably a rat.

Oh well, at least it's dead.

Maybe Linney brought me last night's slug as well.

Perhaps he thinks I need cheering up.

Fred was a Very Brave Boy tonight. My friend, S, has started coming round a bit more often. Fred usually hides from him but tonight, my brave little furball came into the lounge, then played with the ouija board, and even sniffed S's hand! No strokes were allowed but being in the same room for more than 3 seconds is a miracle!

As a reward, I have got 24 wiggly worms on invisible thread arriving tomorrow which I think Freddie will go nuts over

I don’t know what to say Broon. Here are some not Scottish cats.
Cats are essential in difficult times. xxo
Cat One is holding his Stick Of Sadness.

That’s a good idea, I’ll get Kitty on it too.
