It's been a week since I adopted her and Cleo has settled in
beautifully!  She's still a tad skittish and needs her own space,
which is fine with me.  But she's turning into a love bug.  She
loves to get scritches and she sleeps on a pillow behind my head.
She now joins me on the couch when I am watching TV or reading a
book.  She "kneads" me and purrs.  So sweet!

She loves playing with the fishing-wand toy and I use that to work
out her excess kitten energy.  I have a carpeted cat tree with a
barrel and if I dangle the little mouse from the wand in front of
it she leaps through the barrel back and forth like a little
circus cat.  :)

She gets the "zoomies" and runs from one end of the house to the
other. She loves looking out the windows at the birds (and NO,
Graham, she will never be allowed outside so she won't be killing
them).

She's eating well, loves her kitten food, wet & dry, and no
problems using the litter box.

She also doesn't seem to have a problem being left alone when I'm
at work during the week.  I come home and find toys in the living
room have been moved around.  But she sleeps a lot, as cats do.

I'd share a picture of her but I can't figure out how to get this
damn Win11 computer photo import feature to let me save pics from
the SD card to someplace where I can actually find them.
Technical learning curve.

All this just to say, Cleo is a happy and fun kitten!  I'm so
glad I adopted her. :)

PowderDVD seems to have a feature for that.  Me, I just plugged my
SD into the computer slot and copied it from that drive to my
pictures directory.  Looks like they didn't install the right
drivers?

Sorry, what is PowderDVD?  At any rate, I have figured out how to use
the photo import feature and save the images from my camera's SD card
where I want them (it's painful).  But now I cannot upload the images
to postimages.org.  The site is blocked saying my connection is not
secure.   Damn I hate new computers.

Apologies, powerDVD.  You may not want it but if having problems
watching a DVD (and seems to have picture stuff too), it's good.
Apparently not free forever but I'm just testing that.

This laptop doesn't have a CD/DVD drive.

 Mine does. The laptops I rejected did not. At least if you have enough USB ports you can get a external CD/DVD drive.
 

I don't want or need an external CD/DVD drive on this machine.  And that really had nothing to do with the SD card reader and importing photos from my camera, which I did figure out how to deal with.
