Odd, I see a bright-eyed orange cat, and a tortoiseshell next to him giving him an “I’m with stupid” side-eyed look. ---

> [@Chronos](#): > > Odd, I see a bright-eyed orange cat, and a tortoiseshell next to him Must be nice. Definitely getting the big blue “won’t show you the picture” picture here. Maybe they shut it down after you cached it in your browser. ImgBB has the reputation of being less reliable than ImgUR, but ImgUR hates at least one of the nations represented by the community. What happens when I try to insert the link?

So far as I can tell, the UK hates Imgur, not the other way around. Why they singled out that one specific image host out of all of them, I don’t know. I don’t think I’ve ever seen an upgrade message on an ibb image, but I have often seen them load extremely slowly, like ten seconds per line of pixels. Though this particular one happened to work fine. ---

Well that’s weird. It was working just fine, then I came back a few hours later and I’m getting the “upgrade” picture instead, just like some of you are saying. That’s what shows when I go to imgbb as well. I deleted it and re-uploaded the correct pic. Hopefully it’ll stick this time? Ophelia giving Otto the side-eye: [![](https://i.ibb.co/S4P8f9rS/20260926-141318.jpg) ](https://i.ibb.co/S4P8f9rS/20260926-141318.jpg) ETA: I was always happy with imgur, but I started using imgbb because of the UK issue. But if imgbb is going to start being stupid, maybe I’ll need to go back to imgur… ---

Otto continues to be a sweetie, and Ophelia seems to be one too. But maybe not towards Otto. 🤨 ---

She’s a little wary of Otto, with good reason. We think Otto is about a year old, and he does plenty of kitten things - like jumping the other cats because he’s decided it’s playtime. I don’t think he’s being malicious, but Ophelia doesn’t see it that way! ---

Yes, definitely a ‘what do you think you’re doing lying down next to me?!’ look. > [@GESancMan](#): > > think Otto is about a year old, and he does plenty of kitten things - like jumping the other cats because he’s decided it’s playtime. I’ve known cats who kept doing that until they were fifteen or so. ---

Our Kai cat at the Vet: [![Imgur](https://i.imgur.com/KDFboD7.jpeg "imgur.com") ](https://imgur.com/KDFboD7) He was hoping for good news, and got it. After four weeks, he is free from the cone after getting bitten in a _sensitive_ spot and licking it raw, plus an infection, and then a reinfection. He is running around like a crazed thing now that his balance and whisker-sense are fully restored! ---

That is one worried face. Hope he remains re-infection over-licking free. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/pet-pictures/920105.md?page=142) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/pet-pictures/920105.md?page=144)
