Neither did we! But then we read some cat psychology books, and saw a few things on TV and tried them - was surprised at the difference it made.
When we had two cats, we really didn't notice that one of them was "guarding" the litter tray and causing the other difficulties. Suddenly, she was a lot happier all the time, because even Beldin couldn't guard three trays at the same time!
19 is a good age for a cat - my families original cat made it to around 20 before a massive collection of cancers suddenly appeared (the vet said he'd seen it a lot, and blamed the Chernobyl fallout - it was around the right time).
She was a monster - chased dogs, attacked geese, hunted everything...

Rakker or Marble for me but I guess they all only speak Dutch?
I'd just reached the point of deciding I probably wouldn't add to my menagerie but now ... ?

Rakker looks cool too, but he has some bladder problems and I'm not at home enough to give him his treatment two times a day.
Marble would probably be my second choice

Nothing is as satisfying as a cat sitting on me, and purring!
Have been associated with cats for 32 years now; my daughter is very fond of the one we have now.

I can think of other things to have on my lap
But cats are a solid second place

Those photos are great -- they really have personality.

As an addition to Griffs list I'd like to add that you should consider neutering it. I grew up with a LOT of cats as a kid.
And neighbours tend to dislike un-neutered male cats.

I think at least all the male cats are neutered.
I prefer them that way too.

Why?!
The only good cat is a dead cat; unless you need a moving target.
Within you lies the power for good - Use it!

I hate video tutorials!
I know read! I understand schemas and code of 10 languages.
If I need simple solution for an ordinal trouble ( 3 lines of a code or 5 lines of a text) why I must see 10 minutes of bad sound unfocussed video?

Because it feeds the ego of the person who made it?
I have to agree - they are mostly garbage, and worse you can't copy and paste code from them!

I agree too. I am just doing som Flash stuff (animating in flash) from Lynda.com - while it is great to see the animations being done, having to continually stop the video to try out the stuff is a pain - and there's only a 10 second 'go-back because I missed something' button.
Although at least with Lynda there is a transcript I can read.
What I find really, really annoying is when something happens on screen, the author makes no mention but, if you listen carefully, he's pressed a key to change mode or something. V frustrating when you're following along & it doesn't do what the version on the video is doing!
The ideal is a mix of text, images, animations, video - so I can read the instructions, information and background, watch it being done if I want, and see simple images or videos of what is to be achieved, if I want.
I have noticed that the younger generation (whipper snippers that they are) go straight for a video tutorial, though - probably because they're too flamin' lazy to read, though!~
Still - I have just managed to animate a waving flag - so it isn't all bad

This is how we really are, may be because we have been reluctant to read any kind of written stuff since we're children.
And may be because we have been taught that pictures(videos these days) say more than words.

Well, I'm still using windows 7 pro in my laptop, it works well, but I've noticed that I'm loosing HDD space progressively.
Today I've seen a new folder in my C:\ root named $Windows.~BT.
It looks like this has to do with Windows 10 update.
I'll be ready to update in one month or so, but not now, and my problem is that now I do have only 6 GB of free space in my main disk and this folder is taking around 7GB itself...
I guess that those 7GB have been downloading little by little on the background...
My question is: can I move that folder to my secondary HDD without starting to download everything again? is there any way to ask politely the system to stop trying to download windows 10 until I'm ready for it?
Thank you all!

When you update KB3035583 on your OS and 'reserved' yourself a copy of Windows 10, you actually agreed to download it to your computer to make it ready for installation...As you have a full year for free windows 10 it was a bit unnecessary...
Try this:
1. Remove KB3035583 via Windows Update
2. Clear the remaining folders
As you are on Windows 7, where KB3035583 is optional, you will be able to install it whenever you ready, or just do the install manually (from internet or DVD)...
