I’m a sucker for organizational aids, but I will admit I was sad that this wasn’t a post about a kitten delivery service. That should totally be a thing.
I’m right there with you. Kittens On Demand!
Does it come with or without kittens?
Why would anyone want one without kittens???
Cats in a lazy Susan seems appropriate…
This is weird. I can’t get onto Cutetropolis on my desktop. I get a message that “This connection is not private. This website may be impersonating “Cutetropolis.com” to steal your personal or financial information. You should go back to the previous page.” I’ve tried repeatedly and get the same thing.
What operating system and web browser are you using on the desktop? Are you able to use a different browser?
Safari and a really old operating system. It can’t be updated. It’s unlikely that I’d be able to use the current version of any other browser. Oh well. I have an iPhone 12 and I can get pretty much anything on it.
I’m having the same issue; first my live bookmark for the new posts RSS feed wouldn’t load, and then when I tried to visit the site directly, it kept giving me a message about the connection being untrusted because of an expired security certificate. I tried clearing my cache, just on the off-chance that it was holding onto something it shouldn’t, but it didn’t seem to change anything.
It’s probably a browser issue, though–my desktop is running a really old version of Linux Mint (17.1, I think?) and an equally old version of Pale Moon as my primary browser. And when I switched over to my laptop (which is running Mint 20.1 and Pale Moon 29.4.1) then both the live bookmark and the site come up just fine. Even the ancient version of Firefox on my desktop would load the site itself without complaining, actually, but that’s still kind of a pain since I don’t think it natively supports RSS feed subscription anymore, and I never bothered finding an extension to take over the job. Sigh–oh well, I really need to get myself in gear about upgrading that machine anyway, and I guess this is just one more incentive to do so.
Anyway, I second Mike’s suggestion to try another browser, or update the one you’re using if it’s old; it might help.
I just want website designers to actually put some effort into performance. There’s so much scripting that just doesn’t need to be there. Stuff like infiniscrolling doesn’t actually make sites easier to use, it’s literally just to keep users from being able to say “I’ll just read one more page.”
Like, I realize I’m an old man yelling at the cloud, but the shift toward everything being social this and platform that is making the internet less useful and faaaar more resource intensive than is justifiable.
If your website chokes my raspberry pi you deserve to join Elon Musk at a penal colony on the moon. Booby for president, 2024.
I hate sites that don’t just let me read the thing! You get an ad/subscribe-to-our-newsletter/whatever popped up in your face halfway through reading or just if you move your mouse off the window, then you scroll down and the video at the top that you weren’t watching pops down to the side to distract you and you have to close or pause it…I just wanted to read an article/post but sorry you lost me with all the crap.
I believe my kitchen needs a kitten organizer. So helpful! And so cute!!
Feeling a very little bit better. Meds seem to be kicking in. And the Cutetropolis support network definitely helping.
YAAAY! Keep healing, we’re all pulling for you!
So VERY glad to hear this! Bibi and I are still pulling for you. Hang in there, Duckie!
Yippee, good going, Duckie. Here’s hoping all good things keep heading in the right direction.❤️
Good to hear, hope things continue to get better, so you can stay at home.
Great news!
Hurrah! May the healing continue, and quickly!
Gentle hugs.
Thanks for the update, Duckie. Even better that there is some good news re the antibiotics. May you improve a bit each hour.
Awesome, Duckie! We miss you and expect you back when the time is right for you!
Doing happy dance for Duckie feeling better!!
Yipee!! Makes me want to do the Kermit celebration dance in your honor.
Oh, excellent! I was looking for an update — like everyone else, I’ve been thinking about you and hoping you’re doing a lot better. Keep up the good work!
So glad that you’re feeling better.

FYI for those having problems with internet access on old devices.
Ah. I can confirm that this site uses Let’s Encrypt to provide secure browsing, so the above info probably applies.
Well, that didn’t work. I tried to paste a happy duck meme.
Anyway, glad to hear there’s at least a little good news!
Yay Duckie! Keep it up! As you can tell we’re all pulling for you! 💕🌻🍀🌹
