My older cat has started howling like this - and it is usually when she is upstairs alone, with me and the other pets downstairs. Could be the same thing. Though as I usually shout at her to shut up that should at least tell her where I am.

Afternoon everyone, hope you're all well today?

HM and Tixy, my cat did the same when he got older. My vet said it was something to do with his senses becoming less sharp as he aged, he got disorientated, especially when alone and not in his bed, and the response was to howl....... I think it's just one of those strange cat behaviours that don't make sense to anyone but a cat..

If, love the pic:T:T

Well I made a big fuss of him before we went to bed, in case he was feeling neglected, then when he howled during the night we ignored him and eventually he found us. We were in the bed he'd been sleeping under:rotfl: . He curled up on my pillow so maybe he's lonely, dunno how in a house with 3 other cats. He is an old cat and it is probably due to old age and being disorientated but I really need a undisturbed night's sleep:(

What I'm seeing in old view is four rows for the thanks even if there's just one short user name listed:

Always maximised to show the list. That's the footer I see for post #3 in this thread.

Tixy

I should stay away from the comping board in old view then!



Are you in old view, new masthead? If so I don't get that in that option.

OK. That proves that posting a [/code/] box messes up the forum width setting.

Ignore that post. Just copying someone else's from somewhere else to test that theory.

I get that sometimes when my work's computer has one of it skew-whiffy internet days. Sometimes refreshing the page helps...:)

A long time ago Pania wrote the message below to Newcomers or anyone who comes across a troll on the forum.


Over the last few weeks we have had a number of "troll" attacks on the boards.

What is a Troll?
A troll is a person that posts deliberately provocative, nasty or hurtful comments on threads. They may be a person with no previous connection to the board or someone that has created a pseudonym to get their point made. If you should get such a comment made on any thread you post, asking for help and advice, please realise this comment is not directed at you personally so please ignore these nasty comments and continue to post here as normal because the majority of us really are a lovely bunch – ooops, modesty!

What should I do if I get a comment made on my thread?
Firstly do not respond to the comment as this is invariably what the troll wants. So to get rid of the offending post, at the bottom of the post towards the right hand side you’ll see a red "Warning" triangle within a blue “Report” icon, as shown below:

Click the icon and then "send" the message which will inform the MSE team of the post, who will then review its content and deal with it as appropriate; sometimes even deleting the troll by making their status PPR’d (Posting Privileges Removed). Remember, this site is an asset to so many people, especially those that feels like their world is falling in around them. There is a wealth of knowledgeable people here all willing to help, whatever you do, do not let the comments of one silly individual deter you from availing yourself of the knowledge base that is on offer here.

PLEASE DO NOT LEAVE THE FORUM

It is testament to the work that Martin has done and continues to do that so many people give their time, knowledge and experience freely to others; without judgement, to lift people out of the depths of their debt crisis

PLEASE DO NOT LET THE ACTIONS OF THE MINORITY RUIN THAT
