I took some pics of Mir and Cal (taped the battery hatch shut, and it
worked!) today. When I downloaded the pics to my computer, I discovered
some old pics, including one of Frank. This is the last picture of him,
taken at the end of November, I think:

Here, Caliban had been lolling on the table and enjoying tummy scritches
while I tried to get a good shot of his spotty tummy, when suddenly his
nose told him Miranda had left some beef out on her plate:

I disturbed the Princess while she was sleeping:

Caliban is a big boy now:

But still, Miranda treats him like a baby:

Thank you for posting those, Marina. Frank was so dignified, and Mir and
Cal are so beautiful and cute.

That made my screen go blurry again. I'm glad you got your camera working
and were able to retrieve that precious picture.
Hugs and purrs,

Wow, Marina, Frank looks just like my Mr. Tyrone.

Now *that's* a happy cat! You should be very proud, for you made Frank a
very happy cat for a very long time.

How lovely to have that cozy last memory of dear Frank.
I think the 2 sweet young'uns can be a great comfort to you if you can let
them.
Purrs that it will be so

Thanks for sharing those, Marina, most especially the picture of Frank. He
was a lovely, lovely cat, is missed and won't be forgotten

Beautiful photos! Frank looks very sweet and comfy. It's so nice
that you have this picture. Caliban is a beauty, and I say this not
simply because he looks a lot like Roxy. :) I love the shot of him
getting groomed by Miranda.

glad you were able to make a temporary fix so we could all get our
Finnish kitty pix fix.
(((((((((Marina)))))))
I should have asked fist, but when I saw Franks pix in ABPA I uploaded
three of my favorite pix of Nikki and Frank as sort of a tribute to
them. It's been a pretty bad year for you, what with losing two very
special babies. I know you'll miss them more then those of us who were
never able to give them a scritch in person, but we're grieving with
you and sending you purrs.
It's also been a good year, what with the arrival of Mir and Caliban,
and I'm looking forward to more pix of them growing and developing.

Steve, I don't mind at all, on the contrary, but they aren't turning up
on my server. Neither are they showing on usenet replayer yet. Could you
descibe them so I know which ones they are?

Already answered in ABPA, but here it is again in case you check here
first:
"When I originally download and save pix I often change the names so
I'll know who originally posted them, and they'll appear grouped
together in an alphabetical listing. I think you'll probably recognise
the file names, though: Marina_frankpinksock1.jpg (a bright eyed Frank
caught in the act of bunnykicking his pick sock);
Marina_Nikkihelp3.jpg (Nikki sitting in a cupboard looking almost
exactly like my Sammy when I open the cupbaord and reach for the cat
food); and Marina_frank singing.jpg (one that always makes me smile -
Frank and Nikki on the bookcase, Frank looking like he's telling Nikki
off, while it looks like she's giving him the ear)
Like I said in the OP, really hard to pick just three, but these are
three of my favorites. Also, they're all a couple years old, so I
thought some folks might have missed them the first time they were
posted."

Yes, I know which pics you mean. :o) I don't think I've posted them in
abpa. They still haven't turned up on my server. BTW, I changed my
wallpaper into this one:

I had Shadow as my wallpaper for a long time after he died. When
Marley was alive, I didn't have a digital camera, so I don't have any
pics on my computer of him other than one that I scanned. I suspect
you'll have that one as your wallpaper for a good while. :) It's a
beautiful shot and memory!

I've had Nikki as my wallpaper ever since she died in May. Mostly this
