The dreaded red 'X' & the white kitten

13 years ago

I was playing around & still searching for the animated white kitten last night and saw a clue which I had forgotten. On another forum, someone was complaining of the red 'X' instead of a pic and said "someone had a kitten that removes the red 'X' & I wish you'd send him to me...."

Then I remembered the kitten reaches up and pulls the red 'X' down out of the picture. That's what made it so appealing to me - does that ring a bell? Owbist? Raven? Anyone else?

oh ok then that is a different one than the one I was thinking of, I don't think I have seen one with the kitten grabbing the red x but there are several around that do that, one has a little gun and shoots the red x. But that is a good clue, I feel like I am on a scavenger hunt LOL

on one of my other forums we play a scavenger hunt game maybe I need to put this in as our quest LOL.

I'd love one Urlee - Your abilities in graphics is way over my head ~ can you do the same cat for me? I like the script, just a little smaller (not the cat) and a little less scroolie. Wouldn't mind having your little dancing cat (adorable) too. Cat lover here as you've probably figured out by now (have 4 ~ all strays). Let me know - Also FYI look at my new topic "The dreaded Red X and the kitten" Marooma found exactly the one I was searching for - yea! I just want to know how to make it bigger. It's so darn cute.

how rare are female orange kittens?
Q
Comments (50)
It's simply easier for a male to be totally orange than a female, because the coat color is carried on the X (female) sex chromosome. Males inherit only one X chromosome and that is from their dam. Whatever one she passses along is going to be the only one expressing his basic coat background. However, the female inherits two X chromosomes, one from each of her parents. Two X chromosomes are not viable (other than in rare chromosome defects) in each cell, so one is inactivated, and this is done at random. Therefore a female is essentially a chimera for all those traits expressed by an X chromosome. She'll be a mosaic of both parents. In order for her to be totally orange as a base, she'll have to have inherited it on the X chromosome from each of her parents. Yes, very possible, but less likely than a male who only has to inherit one. The are only two base colours for cats. Orange and black.......that's why the tortie trait with both orange and black is nearly always seen only in females.

Accessories and the dreaded TV..help fix this room for under $300

I would raise the drapery rods so that they are about halfway between the top of the window and the crown moulding. You have the transoms and taller doorways, and the windows end up feeling kind of squatty with the drapes hung right at the top of the frame. You can use clip rings if needed for more length. I would turn the rug the other way, parallel to the couch - it looks too small the way it is running now, compared to the width of the couch. Add a floor lamp to the right end of the sofa by the wall, and slide the couch a bit more to the right - it doesn't have to be centered in front of the window, and will give the room the feeling of more walking space move over to the right a bit. Take the tall cabinet and put it on the left side of the console cabinet, to create the feeling of a larger entertainment unit. Take the big plant off the top and add a nice plate on a plate stand up there, perhaps a pair of candlesticks or a smaller ivy plant. Take the single chair and put that on the right side of the cabinet, as extra seating. Add a lamp on the right end of the console by the chair. Something in red, either the lamp or the shade, would be nice to bring some red to that side of the room. The height of the lamp will balance the height of the taller cabinet on the other end, and also provide some warm lighting for the person seated in that chair. Try bringing in the two wing chairs and putting them at a soft right angle to one another down at the right side of the fireplace. A round table and lamp between them would be a good addition. A fabric ottoman that could act as a coffee table and extra seating would be nice in front of the couch. Something narrow and simple in design, or even a pair of the square ottomans in a bright red or rich moss green would work. The mirror is great, but too small. Try to find a large piece of art, or even a pair of framed pieces. The mirror will only really reflect the tv, so not a bit bonus to have a mirror up there. Add some taller candles in holders, perhaps the vase of grasses currently on the hearth. Once you bring the lamps in by the couch and wing chairs, you likely won't need a lot of art on the walls on either side of the fireplace, but wait and see for sure. You have a great start in the space - just need a few things to pull it together.

Dish Drainer - Color? Black, red, keep the white?
Q
Comments (42)
I honestly do not know why you are worried about your dish drainer. It looks fine on your countertop, especially since your appliances are white. In fact, it looks like a lovely kitchen that is USED by actual people. Since when are we not allowed to live in our houses? The dishes in the top rack of my dishwasher are never dry, especially the plastic cups/sippy cups that are necessary with small children. I run the DW (almost) every night, transfer the wet items to the drainer in the morning, and put away the dry items when I return from work each day. When we have a party, I tuck my drainer under the sink. (But a nearby closet would work just as well.) If you decide to use a towel instead, remember to angle your pots/glasses/bowls to allow air to circulate to the inside. Otherwise, your pan will be dry on the outside and wet on the inside. (Sometimes I'll lay a wooden spoon under the first pan to lift it off the counter then lean all the other pans against it.) I use towels for overflow items, but the draining rack dries dishes faster.

YEAAAAAAAA! MAROOMA!

YOU DID IT! THAT'S IT! I love it ~ it just makes me laugh. Who doesn't hate the red X?

Now, how do I get it (for my very own) and can it be made a little larger?

Raven - I want to check out those funny pics too. You all are so good, as in good = helpful and good = expert!

just right click on the picture there in Marooma's post and select save image as and save it to your computer then it is yours. you can have it made larger at the avatar forum I mentioned before, or you could try to do it yourself using a resize program.

Does that white kitten really do something to remove red x's? It's just a cute little animation, isn't it?

By the way, for the cat lovers out there, are you familiar with Felix, who comes with a bunch of toys and other things and prances around on your desktop? It was put out by Friskies. Someone I know said that the people in her office enjoyed and watched it so much that the boss finally told them to remove it from their machines. I myself only turn it on once in a while, lol.

The cat usually stays on the desktop, but if you have a small window open, he will prance back and forth on that.

What he does seems to have been changed quite a bit--so I just downloaded the newest version.

Raven - when I saved it that way I only get the photo, not the video or animated avatar - how do I do that?

That's a .gif image with 43 frames. I opened it in Photoshop Elements which separates the frames into different layers. Seems to me you would have to enlarge each frame separately but there may be a way to enlarge them all at once - I've never worked with them.
sanantoniorose you probably get it all. Locate it on your computer and double click on it.

I've had Felix since my very first Windows 98 computer. I seldom pull him out, but I do enjoy his antics.

I did notice that Felix uses quite a bit of ram when he is running. I do have a real cat named Felix too!

Thank you Jean - Can you please tell me how to save it and keep it this time? I use Picasa and I'm still not sure how to copy and USE it. Could you please help, I'm just not getting it (feel double dumb right now).

I'm not going to ask how you did that if I can't even download it correctly............

Good Job Terry! I think we were all looking for that little white kitten...lol Hope all is well down there.

It was deliberately created small as the forum it was used on as an avatar had a limit of - I think - 50 pixels square. Enlarging as you see in Jean's post creates a poor quality.

Rose, I don't believe Picasa supports animation. Just right click on the image and 'save as'. Upload it to whatever site you use and try posting it here. You can also save it, right click, open with Internet Explorer to see if it animates for you.

I have Felix sleeping in his tent on my desktop. I used to have a desk top Santa and may still have it on my external hard drive. He did all kinds of things, I believe he even sits on the stool or a pot, not sure anymore.

I save my images online to imageshack and they definitely support animation. So you can right click on the picture and choose save as to your pc, then go to imageshack and select the upload from pc option, browse to that image file on your pc where ever you put it and select it to upload. It will then upload it to imageshack and will give you all the codes you need to use in forums such as this one, with this forum you would select the code with html which is called sites code on imageshack.

Photobucket also supports animation.
