> http://koti.welho.com/mkurten/nikki.htm I wasn't around on the newsgroup when Nikki went to the RB last year, so I didn't recognize this date. But I'm glad Adrian mentioned it, so I could take another look at Nikki's tribute page and reflect on what a sweet (and pretty) kitty she was. I love the opening shot on the page - she's got something in her sights! I hope she's doing lots of great hunting and exploring in the big Island in the sky.
Hugs & purrs,
Joyce

I know she looked very sweet and innocent, with those big eyes of hers, but she was really one of the cattiest cats I've ever met. ;o) I still loved her and miss her a lot. Happy hunting, Nikki!

Marina - 23 May 2006 04:32 GMT > What a nice tribute. You'll always be able to smile when you see that > picture of her feet sticking out of the box. I remember taking that picture. It was one of the rare moments when you wish you had a camera nearby, and then you realize you do. I was watching TV and looked around for Nikki, because she would usually make me company when I watched TV. Then I saw the legs sticking out of the box. After falling about laughing for five minutes, I thought, where's the camera? Can I get it without disturbing her? and I realized it was on the table by my chair. So for once, I had a camera just when I needed one.

Gandalf - 23 May 2006 03:14 GMT >Hugs and purrs, Marina, on this sad anniversary. Purrs for you on Nikki's RB anniversary. It is so sad that we are destined to outlive our beloved furry friends.
I always remember my RB kitty's anniversaries with more than a little sadness.
It seems only yesterday I was reading stories about Frank and Nikki's many adventures.
I remember vividly reading about Frank and Nikki when I first started reading the group, back in 1999. They seemed to lead such exciting lives, compared to my (now RB) indoor only kittys, Lucky and Blizzard.
Buried deep in the many hundreds of bookmarks I have, I found a working one which goes to a web page with a picture of Nikki, and an audio file of her purring! (It's a big file, about 1.5 meg).
I thought perhaps you might want to repost it in honor of Nikki.
It's a possibleplaces.com web page.
If you don't have it, and want to put it up, please E-mail me, removing the obvious from my E-mail address, and I'll send it to you.
I can no longer reliably receive RPCA at work, (more than half the posts are missing) and I don't always check it during the week, but I always check my E-mail at work.
And while they can't take Frank and Nikki's places, I do so love and look forward to your many wonderful stories and pictures of beautiful Miranda and dashing and handsome Caliban.

It's on CatNipped's site, at http://www.possibleplaces.com/Nikki_Purr/. For some reason, I can't get it to work with my Firefox. I'd like to put that purr on my webpage for Nikki, but again, don't know how to. What's the html I need? Anyone?

What's >the html I need? Anyone? First, purrs for the anniversary of Nikki's passage. I tried loading the page on Firefox here at work and found that it needed the plugin for WAV media files, even though I already have Windows Media Player on my computer. Firefox said it wanted the Apple Quicktime plugin, so I had to download and install that (http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download). It setup the WAV file association in Firefox to use Quicktime to play downloaded WAVs and I could hear the purr. I then changed the download action to play with the default player (Tools - Options - Downloads - View & Edit Actions), changed the WAV action from Quicktime to Open with Default Application (Windows Media Player), saved the settings, closed firefox & restarted it. Now I get Nikki's purr playing embedded via WMP. I'm not very familiar with Firefox - I'd like to manually create file associations so I wouldn't have to download something and just use an app I already have.

I've tried downloading Quicktime a number of times, but Firefox still claims that the plug-in is unavailable. I followed the steps you suggested, but there was no WAV in the list. There's WMA, WAX and WVX, but no WAV. Thank you for going to all this trouble to help, though!

Well, Firefox is lying. :) I use Firefox myself, and have watched many QT videos. Wish I could help you figure out how to make it work in yours.
