Wonderful thread! Hello little cat.
I'm on a tour of all things here are you a cat who likes a pat or a cat who likes a stroke?
\Jamesontour/

Hi, Machel:  looks like you didn't follow El Loro's advice on how to report this...to be clear about this issue, do you mean you don't get any of the "goodies" on the top posting bar?  E.g. Bold, italics, smilies, etc?

When you say you don't get any paragraphs, either, I'm confused.  If you are posting a reply, what paragraphs are you looking for?

I've had the same trouble with paragraphs too Lori.
Sometimes when you press the return key so that your writing starts on a new line it doesn't work. You can't actually start a new line if you want to.
Sometimes, if it appears to be working O.K. when you are typing in the reply box you find that when the post appears in the thread you didn't actually start a new line when you thought you did but that all the sentences just follow right on after each other.

At the moment paragraphing appears to be working for me. I have just started a new line with the word "At". We'll now see if the paragraph is still there when I post it.


edit: yes it was. The fault seems to be intermittant for me.

What browser (and version) are you using?  We'll need to try to recreate the issue.

Also, just to be clear, the link that El Loro posted above is the proper place to report these issues.  Our QA guy "haunts" that forum, and he often has a better handle on whether or not something is a known problem.

Hi tlc and crew           its getting colder now so i have crocheted a little blanket for nermal to keep him  warm when no-one is there.         I have reported my problems (thanks El Loro)

Tickle tickle lil catkin


*leaves bowl of milk for you*


 . . .now leave them birdies be - norty you

hi jamesontour..... TLC likes little tickles under the chin from what I can gather.
*tickles cats under chins*

Next to having my ears licked by a certain feline I like having the the side of my chin rubbed. it doesn't matter which side. in fact, if you've got two hands free it's nice to have both sides rubbed at the same time.
sometimes, when i'm all on my own and feeling a bit lonely i rub the side of my chin against some furniture and close my eyes and pretend a yuman is doing it. it's very comforting.

FISHDAY FRIDAY salmon fishcakes for tea, so i'll pop your share in the fridge tlc and crew and not forgetting the cream from mr machel's trifle *rubs sides of chins and tickles underneath*

Oooh thank you machel. you rub the side of my face beautifully. i think you've done that sort of thing before! and thank you for the lovely fish and cream. it's so nice to have fridays back to normal (heh heh - I nearly said "nermal" ) again.

Awwww..... come over here, LC. *rubs both sides of LC's chin*

hello lil cat - how are you?
I have all weekend off and can think of nothing better than to reed your diary
but later . . .me peeps now as i'm just back from a night shift in the dark

have you read my diary yet renton?

i'm going to go to sleep really early tonight because leroy is coming round to play with me tomorrow.
he says it's harfturm and he won't be going to school so he's going to come and stay at aunty pet's all week 'cos his daddy has to go to work.
i'm really looking forward to it.


somehow i bet that red dot turns up again.....

good morning TLC. It is also half term in my neck of the woods. I was all ready to take babybel to baby signing this morning then i realised just in time. So we are playing with a singing cow instead. Gosh it doesn't get any more exciting than this does it! Has that little red dot come out to play yet?
Sukey brought a live mouse into the house this morning, but she was a bit silly and let go of it.... well, polly managed to get it out of Mr Belle's tool box and took it outside. Shortly after this i had a little look and she was making crunching noises on the lawn. I don't know why i bother going to pets at home every week and buying those tins of succulent chicken?

good afternoon tlc and crew still no emicons/paragraphs on here yet (but they are on livecloud!!!) half term here as well but baby is a little older and so she makes a nice cup of tea

hello i can't say much there's something wrong with this computrtty.tyhekeboard as gone al fnny

That's because you're sitting on the keyboard and the keys are getting squished.

good afternoon. hope the half term is going to plan despite the keyboard issue TLC x

even better thankyou mrs belle.
it's been lovely sunny warm weather and leroy has been here and he has been helping aunty pet clear up the garden and i've been helping them both.
it's been fun.
aunty pet and leroy have been sweeping up all the dead fallen leaves and burning them on a bonfire. i've been jumping in all the piles of dead leaves and chasing the broom about and pretending some big leaves were mice and killing them .
 i found a big black beetle under some leaves - and i ate him.
 
the pesky robin came hopping round to see if there were any beetles or worms for him.
he kept well out of my way though, i noticed.


i wasn't so keen on the bonfire. the smoke kept blowing in my face and i didn't like that. leroy didn't seem to care about the smoke blowing on him though.
i noticed that when i sat on his lap in the evening he smelled just like a bonfire.


leroy has been on the computer a lot in the evenings. he says he's on phasebuk  i would rather he left it alone and played with me instead.
the big man says he was sure it was leroy being on the puter so much that made the keyboard go all funny yesterday.


it wasn't me sitting on it mr loro !


the keys wouldn't type properly but the big man has put it right now.
he's banned leroy from going on it for the rest of the holly daze.

i'm pleased because now leroy will play with me more.

I shouldn't have eaten that black beetle yesterday.


It made me sick.


I was sick all last night.. I did a big pool of sick on the carpet on the landing and the big man got up to go to the toilet in the night and trod in it with his bare foot.  he yelled. he said the sick squished between his toes.
aunty pet had to try and clean it up.


when i knew i was going to be sick again i tried to do it out of the way in a corner where no-one would tread on it, so i sicked in a corner of leroy's bedroom.


anyway, this morning there was a big fuss about that too because it seems i had sicked over a little fan heater leroy has in there and the sick had gone right through the grill of it and got mixed up in the fan and the works.


leroy switched it on this morning without noticing and suddenly there was a bang and a flash and all the lights in the house went out together.
there was a horrible smell too.


The big man had to go into the garage and see to some phew zezz. i don't know how he was going to mend them. i think he muct have needed something oily or greasy to do it with because all i could hear him saying was "where's that cooking fat?".


he never looked in the fridge for it though.


I kept well out of the way.

i should curl up on the book shelf with your toes tucked into your tail for a bit TLC. Get yourself feeling better after the bonfire beetle experience.
Our cat polly is currently in amongst the books. I don't think she is reading them. I think she has gone to sleep. she must have read "elizabeth pantly - No cry sleep solution", because i didn't hear her go to sleep. Mind you it never worked for babybel.
Babybel is asleep at the moment. I don't suppose it will last long. It is nice though as I have been quite poorly for a few days.
On wednesday I had to go into work and do some numerical reasoning tests. I had tonsilitus and felt like death warmed up, plus after 7 months of not doing any sums what-so-ever I was not looking forward to it at all. Anyway, I took loads of painkillers and got my dad to drive me in to work and did quite well considering the circumstances. I have applied for a promotion to senior management, so next week I have to have 3 interviews. one with the finance director, one with the retail director and one with the managing director. I am feeling as sick as a cat who has just eaten a beetle, just thinking about it!
Wish me luck next wednesday afternoon. paws crossed and all that.
have a lovely Fishday friday TLC, and just one word of warning for the weekend... "fireworks".

FISHDAY FRIDAY here is some lovely fresh Grimsby cod and some cream from mr machels trifle, my little girl "helped" me do lots of baking yesterday so mr machel has some scones, fairy cakes and muffins.

LC, I hope you are up to Fishday Friday after your beetle incident!

And Belle, good luck!!  I'm keeping MY paws crossed for you!

thank you machel. i shall put the fish and cream in my fridge for now. my tummy doesn't feel up to it at the moment.  i shall steer well clear of all black beetles in future. it's strange - i've eaten loads of moths and spiders and they've never been any problem. there must be something special about beetles.

October 31st 2009 

hello everybody – I’m saying hello because leroy says today is “hello ween” .

leroy is very excited about it being hello ween because he says he has been invited to a hello ween party tonight.

I suppose everyone goes somewhere and says hello to this ween person.

leroy says they will all put their faces in a big bowl of water and pull out apples with their teeth as well.

*shudders*

it sounds horrible but leroy seems to think it’s a good thing to do!

 

anyway – leroy says everyone is going dressed up in funny clothes and he says he needs a costume.

he asked aunty pet if she could make him a costume and she said she would try as long as it wasn’t too difficult.

she said he could have a goats costume.

she said she would make him one out of a white sheet.

i never knew goats wore white sheets.

anyway she got this white sheet and draped it over leroy and he went around waving his arms in front of him and going wooooo woooooo in a funny voice.

It was enough to make a cat laugh.

He didn’t look at all like a goat though.

 

then aunty pet got a tube of white stuff she said was face paint and put it all over leroy’s face.

he did look funny.

while he was admiring himself in the mirror the big man walked in.

he admired leroy’s goats costume but he seemed to get a bit cross about the white face paint.

he seemed to think it was a bad thing to do.

he said was she trying to make leroy look like hal joll’s son in negative.

i didn’t understand that.

aunty pet did though.

she said leroy putting white paint on his face  wasn’t as bad as someone with a white face putting black stuff on it.

the big man said yes it was.

aunty pet said well leroy was supposed to be a goats and everyone knew goats had white faces.

 

do they?????

 

he said surely the goats of black people would have black faces anyway.

aunty pet said it was tradition - and in any case there were no such things as goats.

 

(surely there are – I’ve seen them!)

 

she said he was talking rubbish.

 

he said when had she ever heard of a black person making their face look white.
he said they had too much dignity and self respect to do that.

she said “what about michael jackson ?” and he said that wasn’t the same thing at all.

 

they were getting quite cross with each other about this, and all this time leroy stood by with his goats sheet on and his whitened face listening to them.

 

then leroy said “I saw a film once where black people made their faces all white to look scary”.

they both looked at him and asked what film he was talking about.

he said it was a jamesbonned film where some black people were supposed to be zomm bees and they put a top hat on a grave and played some music and this man came slowly up out of this grave with the top hat on his head and face painted white and he looked well scary.

 

leroy asked if he could have a zomm bees costume instead of a goats costume and then he could keep the white face paint and he would look well scary too.

the big man laughed and said “you win”.

and aunty pet said “see, I told you so”.

and she said she’d make leroy a black top hat out of cardboard and change the goats outfit into a zomm bees outfit and he could still wear the face paint.

 

so everyone stopped arguing and they were all happy.

 

i like it when everyone is happy.

   

October 31^st 2009

 

well, leroy has gone off to his hello ween  party in his funny zomm bee clothes.

 aunty pet made him a lovely black top hat and he looked very funny with his face painted white.

 he thought he was scary but I didn’t think so – he  was still my leroy.

 

i had a narrow escape though.

 

a friend of leroy’s came to call for him to go to the party with her.

i’ve seen her before. she’s not quite as old as leroy and she’s called mercedes.

she had a black hat on too, but it wasn’t quite the same as leroy’s. it came to a point at the top.

she was all dressed in black with a big black cloak and she was carrying a sort of brush made out of twigs fastened to a wooden pole.

she said it was her broomstick..

she had her face painted as well, only it was painted green.

the big man saw her and he said it was a good outfit.

he didn’t seem to mind that she had a white face that she’d painted green.  

 

the trouble came when she spotted me.

 

she said she wanted to take me to the party with her as a part of her outfit.

she said she’d be sure to win the prize for the best costume if i went with her.

i tried to hide under the sideboard but she tried to poke me out with her broomstick thingy.

leroy said she couldn’t take me.

he said I’d be frightened and upset. (he’s right there!!!!)

mercedes said she’d be upset if she didn’t take me and she went all red in the face and her mouth went a sort of square shape and she started to make an awful noise.

i just went further under the sideboard and flattened my ears.

 

she reminded me of sapphire – the little girl who was there when I was living in skwolla.

she was always wanting to use me to play with.

she used to dress me in baby clothes and put me in her doll’s pram and play at “teenage single mothers”. I used to hide under the cocktail bar in the corner at that house.

 

anyway mercedes made such a noise that aunty pet came to see what was the matter.

at first she thought leroy must have hurt mercedes but when she saw me hiding, and leroy explained what she wanted, aunty pet told mercedes she couldn’t take me away or I might get lost.

she gave mercedes a sweetie and said she’d find something else for her.

 

she went off and came back with a sort of bag thing shaped like a black cat.

she said it was a nightdress case that the big man had given her for her birthday, but mercedes could have it to fasten on her broomstick.

mercedes cheered up when she saw it.

aunty pet helped mercedes fasten it on her broomstick with some wire and said it looked just like a real black cat.

 

mercedes didn’t seem too sure at first, but then leroy agreed with aunty pet and said everyone would be sure to think it was a real cat and she seemed to believe him.

 

i was laughing to myself under the sideboard because it looked nothing like a real cat !

 

anyway they both went off to the party then – mercedes with the cat nightdress case wobbling about on her broomstick..

 

I came out from under the sideboard and washed my face and had a nice sleep on aunty pet’s lap.

 

 

Whew!  That WAS a narrow escape!  Quick thinking on Auntie Pet's part.

Good Morning everyone.
TLC, I notice your writing has gone all big and bold? Does it mark a new era in TLCs life? Does it say, I am a confident black cat with something important to tell you?
Or have you just sat on the keyboard funny again and emboldened your diary by mistake?
Thanks for crossing your paws Lori. I like your little cat pic by the way.

the truth is mrs belle that i'm having a bit of trouble lately just typing in the reply box. sometimes i can get paragraphs and new lines and sometimes i can't - and sometimes the smilies and all the other fass hilly tiz  are there amd sometimes
 they aren't.
mr loro - who is a very clever parrot - says it might be something to do with hinter nett explorers - and i should get a firey fox instead - which sounds fierce.
so. anyway, now if i have a long story to tell, i type it all on WORD first and get it all right and then copy and paste it on here. it saves a lot of trouble that way.


the only thing is that it always comes very big on here when i do that.


perhaps i need to get that fox in to have a look at it.

good morning tlc and crew i tried to post earlier and i had all the facilities but then i couldn't post! you are very lucky to have such a caring pet tlc and it is obvious she loves you. i'm out on wednesday belle but i will keep my fingers crossed. *fluffs cushions* *empties tray*

November 1^st 2009.

 

leroy came back from the hello ween party last night very pleased and excited. he said he’d had a great time and he had lots to tell us.

he had aunty pet’s cat nightdress case, that mercedes had borrowed, in a plastic bag.

when aunty pet took it out it was wet through.

 leroy said that, when mercedes was leaning over the big tub of water with the apples in, the cat thingy had fallen off her broomstick and dropped in the water.

aunty pet said it didn’t matter as it was only clean water and it would dry.

 leroy said he didn’t think it had been very clean water.

he said there were two little boy twins at the party who were eye den tickle. (I think that means they were just the same.)

he said they’d both got awful bad colds and runny snotty noses that they never bothered to wipe.

they went first in the apple bobbing.

 they didn’t manage to get any apples but after they had done leroy said you could see all their snot floating about in the water.

he said no one else would have a go after that – except mercedes, who didn’t seem to mind about the snot and the germs in the water.

mercedes only managed to get one apple but it meant that she won the prize for getting the most apples.

She was very pleased about that because she hadn’t won the prize for the best costume after all.

unfortunately, of course, aunty pet’s cat nightdress case had fallen in the snotty water.

aunty pet put the nightdress case down quickly after that and said she’d put it through the washing machine.

leroy said the one who got the prize for the best costume was a boy who came dressed as a weird wolf.

he said it was a very good costume but he doesn’t think it was very fair as this boy had got it from a fancy dress shop and all the other costumes there were home made.

aunty pet asked leroy if he had won a prize and he said that in fact every child at the party got a prize for something – even if it was only for eating the most cakes.

he said he got a prize for the best acting.  

he said he tried to be that zomm bee man with the top hat in the jamesbonned film.

leroy said this man kept throwing his head back and opening his mouth and doing this really scary laugh.

leroy said he had practised this laugh before going to the party and he tried it out on everyone there.
he said everyone was well scared.

he said he had jumped out at the twins and done it and frightened them so much they started crying and then their noses got snottier than ever.

the lady whose house it was gave leroy the acting prize but asked him not to do his scary laugh any more please.

then he said they played a scary game called “murder in the dark” - where they put all the lights out and everyone hid in the dark and someone got pretend murdered.

leroy said that after all the lights went out he wasn’t sure where to hide but this big girl, called yaelle,  grabbed hold of him and pulled him into a dark cupboard under the stairs.

 and then she started KISSING HIM.!  

he said he didn’t like it at first and then he got to like it a bit more; and he was starting to like it rather a lot when the all the lights went on again and the game was over.

he said the game was really over for him and yaelle too because most of his white face paint had all got rubbed off his face and was smeared over yaelle’s.

 

the big man laughed when he heard that and said “that’s my boy!”

 

aunty pet glared at him.   

 

Hello little cat.
You have had an exciting time while Leroy's been staying with you, haven't you.
I expect he'll be back to school tomorrow and back staying with his dad?


Does the girl called Yaelle go to his school ? He might feel a bit embarrassed when he meets her again.

hello mrs. mags ..
yes leroy went back to his dad's last night because he's had to go back to school today.
 he'll be back here next friday night though because aunty pet is having a gay forks party for him then.
of course i shan't go out then because i don't like those banging whizzing things - but I'm not as scared of them as I used to be.
before he left, leroy asked aunty pet if he could ask yaelle to the gay forks party on friday.
he went all red in the face when he asked her.
he must have been standing too near the central heating radiator i expect....
anyway aunty pet laughed and said yes he could.... she also said he seemed to be turning out too like his dad for his own good...
i don't know what she meant by that.....
but she was smiling when she said it.

hello
is anyone there?
no-one has been to see me all day.


isn't anyone reading my diary?
should i be doing a blog instead?

Hi, Little Cat:

*I'm* reading!  And I know other people are, as well.  I get email notifications of your posts, but I don't always have time to comment, although I always enjoy reading.

Here's a TEENSY bit of catnip to liven things up.

I read you Little cat but in a quiet sort of way.. Sometimes I might frighten little cats. Hope no-one gets burned at the party

and i read your diary tlc. nothing to stop you doing a blog instead tho? i wonder if they can transfer it over to a blog? if they do that tho you must be sure to tell me because i have no idea how to go anywhere else apart from the lounge x
