What am I doing wrong with this photo?

[Catshrink]

Hi,

I tried to post a photo last night and was successful, but.... It was freaking huge! Here is what it looked like. What am I doing wrong? Why is it so big.

BTW, Sam is huge -- over 25#. But that's another story...

Thanks!

1. With your editing software, you have to resize it

Or, shrink it, catshrink

4. Ha ha.....

It looks pretty small on my ersatz webpage.

3. wow...that's so big,

I got my cat to hiss at the monitor. It was hilarious...

5. That's pretty ilarious, all right

I can see that, too.....do you have a meowing sound in your alert repertoire? That can freak them out, too, but combine the two......

Hi, pussycat in the big picture!

8. even shrunk 75%, that's still one fat assed cat!

Give him a treat for me!

10. I'll give that a try....

yeah, he is a fat assed cat. He loves to sleep on my head. What do you do when a 25# cat decides he wants your pillow at 2am? The first time my vet saw him her eyes got huge and she said "That's a big cat."

Duh.

9. Scared my cat

My Honey was sitting on my lap while your big pic was loading; as it was nearing completion, he jumped off my lap in a panic. :hi:

12. Scared my Little Ricky, too!

He was on my lap when I looked at this again. He knows Sam and he jumped up and fled when he saw him. He isn't the smartest critter. Of course, Ricky's real name is Ricky Retardo. (Get it? I have a Lucy and a Ricky.)

11. This is the best one!

The original one is the best photo to demonstrate the sheer magnitude of the 25-lb cat!

13. Your name is very apt for this post

If that's from a digital camera, you should break out the manual and learn how to adjust the resolution to a smaller size.

If you're scanning actual photos, go into your scan setup, make sure dpi (or ppi) is set to 72, then adjust the percentage down.

For some reason, I think of meatloaf everytime I see this picture. :evilgrin: kidding! Fat cats are happy cats :)

14. Your cat and mine must be related!

I have a cat named Walter that could be your kitty's twin. Only Walter is a little smaller than your cat....but not by much.

Is your kitty a snuggle bunny? Walter is very sweet but also very protective. He is like a guard dog. He growls at strangers!

Also very neurotic about his food bowl. He gets very upset if it is empty.

Thanks for the picture. Give your kitty a hug...if he'll allow it!
