This is brilliant! Thanks, Cam and Louise for doing this.

It is very easy to become very attached to a project, and watch a Moggie being brought back to life. Having them together is a terrific idea.

Do your photos keep trying to load but the screen goes blank before they are posted? If so it will be because your photos are too big. Try resizing them on your pc and having another go.
