Friends

Not only is Lucy coming into the house all on her own, and not flinching so much, but she now is interacting with us, playing and demanding attention.



Both Lucy and Simba are improving in appearance and health. Still eating a lot more then normal, but it's slowed considerably compared to what they were doing when they first realised food was available. From 5 or more feeds a day to 2 or 3.

And for a special treat, an animated gif of Aikidomayland playing 'catch' with Lucy.

( Meow! )

I finally was able to get video of Jasper and Evy playing! They are so cute. But I do have a question. In the video you will hear Jasper 'crying' and hissing at Evy as they play. He always does this. But he comes back to play with her and doesn't hide...so...is he really disliking how Evy is playing, trying to tell her to stop but she is too much a kitten to understand or is Jasper just a wimp and being vocal about it? Thanks and enjoy!

Here are some of the wonderful cats I get to see every Saturday when I volunteer for a no-kill cat shelter.

Intense Baby Dasha! She takes her battles with the cat dancer very seriously.

Hello all, this is my first post!
I thought I would share some pictures of my kitties with you.
I have two babies, one who lives with me and one who lives with my dad.
Ruby is the princess who lives with me and dexter, who is much larger (and a boy) lives with my daddy.

my big... little man, dexter

( i like taking pictures... so there is probably a lot, haha )

Nice to meet y'all. :)

Notes augmented

We've enhanced and de-bugged Notes. If you haven't tried it yet, now's the time! You can create a private note when you ban multiple users. You can also delete multiple notes at once. Lastly, paid users have the option to add a note (visible only to you) whenever you add or remove a friend (guaranteed to avoid embarrassing social mishaps). If you don't currently have a paid account, you can upgrade now! It only takes a few minutes and costs less than a bad shopping mall haircut (plus, it's way more fashionable)!

Product tweaks and bug kill

1. In another effort to zap spam, comments containing links from domains LiveJournal deems untrustworthy are now automatically screened
2. If you sign up to get notifications of the Writer's Block question of the day, you'll now see the daily question in the email notification, so you'll have a little extra time to ponder before you post. You can subscribe to Writers Block notifications here
3. The issue causing random comments to vanish has been fixed!
4. If you visit a LiveJournal page and get prompted to log in, you'll be returned to the same page after you sign in (Thanks, Dreamwidth)!
5. If you don't edit the timestamp for an entry at all, the entry timestamp will indicate the time the entry was posted instead of the time the Update Journal page was loaded
6. Comments with paddings/backgrounds render correctly within the comment box (and will no longer wrap outside the box and break frames/margins)

New FCK fixes rich text editor!

1. We've updated our RTE (Rich Text Editor) to FCKeditor version 2.6.5
2. When switching from the RTE to HTML editor, links for syndicated feeds are no longer broken
3. RTE now functions properly in Safari 4.0
4. An extra line/space will not be auto-inserted whenever you switch from RTE to HTML editor
5. The insert image link now works correctly in all browsers

LiveJournal Cares

We’re pleased to introduce you to lj_cares, a new LiveJournal community dedicated to raising awareness and funds for U.S. charitable organizations that improve the health and well-being of people around the world. Each month, we’ll spotlight a nonprofit that is making a significant global impact through medical research, public outreach, and/or humanitarian social programs. Charities will be selected in accordance with the U.S. calendar of national health observances based on a high rating (of over 60%) on Charity Navigator and global scope of impact.

In this, our inaugural month of November, we will celebrate national adoption month by offering a charitable virtual gift (priced at $2.99) to support Love Without Boundaries, an organization that saves the lives of orphans with life-threatening diseases and places them in loving homes around the world. LiveJournal will donate 100% of the proceeds from the sale of charitable vgifts (we'll cover the cost of credit card transaction fees). To learn more about Love Without Boundaries, please visit lj_cares and read about how they helped save Baby Kang and the Rainbow Twins from fatal illnesses, who are now thriving in nurturing families. You can purchase your Love Without Boundaries gifts in the Virtual Gift shop.

Papered in postcards

A couple of weeks ago, we asked you to send in postcards to surround us with LiveJournal community. Thanks for coming through! We've received postcards all the way from Germany, Finland, and Canada and from all over the US, including Texas, Florida, Alaska, Montana, Wyoming, Indiana, Hawaii, and Oklahoma just to name just a handful. We're thrilled with our improved decor.

Please keep the love coming for one more week by writing to Frank the Goat, Esq., c/o LiveJournal, Inc., 539 Bryant Street, Suite 210, San Francisco, CA 94107. Be sure to include your username, since we'll be drawing the names of ten random contributors next Thursday to win paid account credits!

Photos of the week

We have more dazzling images posted by talented LiveJournal photographers from around the world. We're hoping to span the entire globe, so please continue posting and tagging. Of course, you can also sit back and enjoy the view at lj_photophile.

You can see a sample of this week's gorgeous photos and check out spotlight communities and awesome user content after the jump!

Curtains

We thank you, once again, for joining us. See you next week!

I spent two hours at the rescue yesterday. It was a mad house! We had quite a few adoptions. There were 9 new kittens that I needed to get photos of. Three got adopted as I walked in the door, but what's amazing is the siamese boy was still there! Haha, the lady that took two said that she already had a siamese, so she wanted something different! ;D

The other kitten from that litter that got adopted went with one of our senior kitties! :D Mackenzie found a home! She hates other cats...but she tolerates them well enough (similar to my roommate's cat, Jenny), and the family has another young cat for the kitten to be a companion to. They also got the enormous cat tree that went with one of our featured cats this month! This month we're featuring our seniors, and now Boogaloo (12 years old) is the only one left. Someone needs to give the old man a few good years in a nice warm home!

I recall yesterday mentioning that all the cats I write about are mixed breeds, but I have to admit every now and then we do get purebreds! One of our volunteers drove down to Denver the other day to pick up two 1.5 year old Scottish Folds! I have my fingers crossed that she'll bring them into the shelter so I can get pics before they're snatched up! One is calico and one is grey tabby. :) I'll include a couple photos their foster mom took of them (despite the flash being on and them having glowing eyes! lol) at the bottom of my post.

For now, pictures!

These two have only been together for just a little over two weeks and this is how cozy they are with each other already.

This is an old one. Mom forgot the fridge door slightly open and look, who's going for the sausages...... fatty.



Anyways, hello everyone. I'm new to this community, I have two cats; Ville 5 years (in the picture) and his mother Viivi, soon to be 8 years. Both B&W, I'll post some better pics later. :p

"No more jello shots...EVER! BLARGH!

Simba spreads out.




After talking to Alison about Simba, we got some great ideas.

It seems like his biggest problem is he is stressed out. It didn't help when Ziggy leapt from the top of the lorikeets cage behind him after he had walked past. He needed to so something to destress. Might not have liked his choice, but it's easy to work around.

( This is what we did )

Been awhile! Here's Frankenstein loafed upon the new(ly found) scratchy-thing...
