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.

I just got an external USB one because of that.  Works fine.  It was
39$ but was a 'black Friday' type sale.  I just looked, seems still
on sale?

Nicely sturdy unit.
 
Not adding internal CD/whatever is getting more common.  Even
desktops are skipping them to cheap out.

 
You totally missed my point.  I'm transferring images from an SDHC
card in my digital camera via SDHC card slot on the computer.
Nothing to do with CD's or DVD's or your external whatever.
