A mouse prehaps?
Sweet little cat BTW, what breed is she?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I guess she's a dosmestic-short-hair, a mongrel of undeterminable breed, a stray, an alley-cat, or what we call a drain-cat. She was one of many abandoned stray kittens we took in. Here's another pic of her [link] and with her sisters [link]

You're welcome.
But I had to remove my custom fav cat window because I had trouble deleting any and it was taking up the whole page. So I now am back to a regular window, on random. Except now I can't single out my mostest fav favs. But at least they're still there. I get so fond of the kitty photos, almost like personal little friends. lol

hehheh...I'm such a techno-idiot, I have no idea what's a custom window vs a regular window!
...so I am gonna ask what may be a stupid question...why can't you set up a separate folder for your mostest fav favs? oh, wait a minute...political reasons? not very diplomatic to show what's fav favs and what's just favs?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Because dA allows only so many regular folders and or customized folders on the page. You can only have about (wut? 5?) regular folders, but you can have a lot more of customized ones, but the custom ones don't allow any comments nor any limited view or rotation, and unless you routinely remove older devs before adding new ones, they start to fill up the whole page in a long 2- to 3- dev line down the page.
What I have done is to go back to a regular folder with large thumb, but on the side of folder where you write the description, I also have stuck some thumbs of some of my most favorites so they will always be right there to see any time someone clicks on the "browse folder". It's on my main page now, go see what I mean.
When Christmas is over, I can turn the cat one into random rotate. We are allowed only one rotating one, whether rotating from newest to oldest or randomly. The rest are non-rotate, and you can choose 2 to 10 thumbs or 1 to 2 large thumbs.
Did that make sense? It's all due to the software. And because I'm so fond of the cat photos I wanted to do something special to showcase them and so I could see them every day, but... all the problems I mentioned.
Perhaps it's not very diplomatic to point out fav favs, but I don't mean it in a criticism way. I mean it that they are so adorable and mean something more personal to me, but I love all that I fav or I wouldn't bother to fav them at all.
Hopefully people aren't hating me for all this? Eeks!

ahhh...I think I see it...all these complicated things you are talking about are features of a premium account. Yes, I see the difference in how your page looks as I had seen your previous customized window.
oh, don't worry about the diplomacy bit..I was just kidding, really. One can't go around worrying too much about such. I know I must have offended at least a couple of people who asked me to watch them and at least another couple who had persistently asked me to visit their galleries. Don't get me wrong...I do NOT slam people's deviations in comments nor criticise them by putting them in "Bad Art' folders. I usually do visit the galleries of people who left comments or faves, and those couple that I mentioned above I definitely did. Just because I don't leave comments or faves, it doesn't mean I am criticising their work...hell, I'm not qualified to be doing such! It just means the works didn't move me in some way or other. And I watch groups, I don't watch people...my faves are my gateway to the galleries that I want to visit regularly. It may sound terrible, but I don't want too many things popping up in my inbox.

Makes good sense to me. Just because I don't fav one dev doesn't mean it's a critique that it is bad. It just means it didn't move me or I don't yet understand that kind of art or it's been a very busy (or unwell) day for me or I've faved too many already by that person (and I like to try to spread the faving around when I can) or any other thing. I also don't feel qualified to critique most things, so I don't do formal critiques. I just say what feelings the dev evoked or what it looks like to me or why I like it. Once in a great while I will suggest some change/improvement if it's something I know a little about.
Ah, so you don't have premium account, no wonder you didn't know. I rather like having it. It's worth the cost, imo. I try very hard to make my page interesting and frequently changing and to support as many types of art and deviants as I can, while inviting people to join in my chat journals, polls, and general comments. It's a fairly relaxed page. I'm not here at this time to further an income or career. Just here for fun, to learn, to improve, to support, and a place to hang out with kindred spirits. Oh, and to see cute cats like yours! I also have a weakness of wanting to add captions to many kitty/animal photos. I'm a frustrated wannabe cartoonist, y'see?

ahh yes, I forgot that one...I don't understand that kind of art!
hehheh...I don't get much traffic, so I figured not much point getting a premium account. Also, my deviations are not art, just memories/records of my cats. Like you, I'm not here to further an income or career. But if people are, I have no quarrel with that; and if an enthusiastic comment by me results in a soft sell to buy a print or the original, I have no quarrel with that either. Afterall, where else better than dA for exposure?
Hey, why wannabe? You have the time, right? Retired, I'm guessing? and you have the space here on dA...so, go for it, gurl!

Well, you might not be feeling well so much of the time, but your sense of humour is intact. That's good. May I get personal and ask what ails you?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I'm always playing with words and inventing them as suits the occasion, usually for humor. Yes, true, my sense of humor is still with me. Without it I'd have been dead long long LONG ago.
What ails me? It's not very interesting, and much of the stories I cannot post publicly. I've already polluted dA with some of it, for over a year now. I can tell you these.
One of the worst is the stroke I had in my late 30s, wiped most of my memories or pathways to them (am still trying to regain all the pathways to them) and much of my skills and every book I ever read (of which were volumes) and every class I ever took, etc. And I'm physically not as strong in areas, etc. Even my facial muscles are weak, my face often looks expressionless or grouchy when I'm not. Hurts to smile.
Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue.
Left hand has a permanent injury, to the pinky but affects the ring finger. Pinky is paralyzed, except am able to get it to move up and down to type. It was severed to the bone, hit an artery, I could have bled to death, I was only 20, going through traumatic relationship, but even if I'd sought medical help, they couldn't reattach the bone to the muscles/etc. They probably could today, but costly and lots of pain and it might even make that hand worse. Anyhow, it ended my decades of piano, of learning guitar, of my clarinet, or other things that require the left hand. Though oddly, having been an amazingly (probably in top 5% nationally) fast typist before the injury, I remained still faster than average. The finger seems to be withering though, in the past 5 years. Slowly weakening. Making a lot of typos I didn't used to make. Constant pain... my writing/art/communication is literally pain-staking.
Thyroid gland disorder since my early 20s. Finally removed myself off the medication which had been basically poisoning my body for the last, dunno, 5 or 10 years, or forever. Doing so much better in most ways, but worse in some. Brain feels weird. Trying to adjust. Takes a long time.
Car crash in my 20s, other injuries, have vertebral damage, and now a disc or two keeps slipping and causing hella hella pain and or have to stay sat or lying down.
Severe allergies.
Those are for starters. It gets worse in a few more, and not as bad in a few others.
Nothing exciting or unique or even worth writing about. But 'tis moi, such as I is.
It is getting harder and harder to walk. Right leg is a bit shorter due to car crash, spine not as straight, and aging/et al is causing problems.
But I will enjoy what I can do, I do enjoy, and I'm having a LOT of fun doing what I can do. I don't know how many productive years I have remaining, so I'm kinda in crash course to experiment with as much as I can. At the speed of a snail though.
Thank you for taking an interest in me, though.
And how is your health? And your life? Much better than mine I do so hope!

I read something about your stroke and its effects on you, but the rest is all news to me.
I had always enjoyed your sense of humour, but now, I am in total awe at your strength and your courage. You have suffered so much and for so long...in fact, I can safely say that I haven't come across anybody who has had to endure more! I personally know many who have had to deal with one of the many ailments you mentioned, but never all those in one person! I try thinking of all those sufferings endured by all those people all lumped into one body, and I get scared...it's too much.
Everytime I am travelling on the trains or buses when it is during the peak hours, I 'get' to hear conversations among these office workers...and it's always the same...whinge whinge whinge, about work, about co-workers, about family, about in-laws, about spouses and children, about friends, about what they have,have-not, about their lives. I compare notes with my sis, and it is the same with her. Almost never do we hear anything positive. And these are young or at least not old people, able-bodied, seemingly in good health, gainfully-employed. Sometimes, I want to scream at them impatiently stop complaining and get on with your lives, you have much to be thankful for! To be even born here at all is already something to be thankful for...we have no earthquakes, no famines, no tyhoons, no twisters, no major natural disasters. Despite the bad press we get in the west about a suppressive nanny-state, we have access to the things that count (I won't bore you with details). And most important of all, they should be thankful for their good health.
You are inspirational. I have to start looking after myself better. Without all these ailments, I would be abusing my good fortune if I don't. My health issues are mostly ones that can be overcome with proper exercise and diet, so I have no excuse. Okay, you have inspired me. I am going to take my vital statistics (weight, etc) and start looking after myself...as of now!

LOL Go go go!
Part of the reason I'm so open about all the things that have happened to me (even if many I can't talk about publicly for legal reasons and my own protection) is for that very thing. To inspire, to encourage, to show those they aren't alone, that no matter how bad, there can be something to enjoy, to look ahead to, to smile and laugh about, to love oneself and others no matter how much one was physically/emotionally hurt by someone -- there are still good people on this planet.
There are people who have had it so much worse than I, really. But true, I'm probably in a higher percentage of horrible things to happen to one woman alone. My list would go on and on. Most people can't handle it, don't want to hear it, get too upset or frightened. I don't blame them.
Anyhow, yes, take good care of yourself and start now. Most importantly enjoy Today -- because Today is what we are given, it will not come again, find pleasure in it, don't let misery steal it away, even if for the time being misery is very strong, be stronger and find some joy somewhere... there's always some joy somewhere. That's what I tell myself.
And thank you for your kind words.

ah, we are positive people. We consider ourselves quite blessed, and we give thanks daily to the powers that be for what we have ...ok, ok, not daily, but most days! A friend who can read aura said that the first thing that strike her when she first saw us twelve years ago was how positive our energies were (and how alike...we could be twins!). In fact, we are so content that we make some people sick!
My sis suffers from Psoriasis, and oft times, the itch gets her down. But she still feels blessed in life, and she enjoys her drawings and writings, and of course the cats! Her skin problems had been misdiagnosed all these years, and it was only diagnosed as Psoriasis just last week. She had since been searching the net for information, and now, armed with the list of food items that can and cannot be consumed for people with this condition, I will be slowly making changes to our diet (I am the one in charge of the cookery department). With this impetus and inspiration from you, it should be all systems go go go!
