It does make me wonder what people are doing to some of them. One of them was just about to hit some water, obviously thrown in just for the photo :evil:

Never underestimate the power of Photoshop. However, people do seem to wash their cats. Not Want!

Cats can sometimes do it to themselves and if you have a camera. I wish I had had one one day it had been raining for a week and this cat came running across the road and jumped to the edge well it looked as if it was a flat area but as it turned out it was a ditch with about 2 feet of water in it. The cat went down and came back up in about 2 seconds and it did look as if he was walking on water. He was very mad but he had done it to himself. So it all depends on what was hapening before the picture clicked. He may have been in a tree and slipped or a dog was chasing him you just never know. People alwats seem to have a camera to catch the most amaving stuff.

Jilly, that kitty isn't being thrown into water. I'm 99% sure that's photoshopped. The position of the cats body and the water in general is not right there. But yes, it does make me wonder what is really going on behind the photoshop.

I just clicked on the link again, it looks like it has been taken off for suspected abuse of the cat :shock:

*sigh* Well the kit came through and my sister loves it...but the horses aren't stitched. Just the dream catcher, which has kinda pissed me off, because I wanted to get her some horses to make!

The seller was excellent though, sent it to my sisters house and arrived very quickly. I just wish the description had told me the horses weren't stitched. I'd have kept looking.

Of course she had to remind me that I didn't get her a christmas present. So I found another one that says me to her. The greek influence screams me and the horsies say her.

Oh yes, I saw that on sewandso, it's so pretty! I have to agree, I almost bought that one for my sister, but I chose the lipi instead and thought my sister would like the lipi much better.

Sister has more birthdays and christmasses. I shall drown her in stitching :P

ive bought kits before from ebay and the seller didn't know or think to put stitched or stamped....i made that mistake..the seller was selling 4 kids that i got for 10 dollars.....they were all stamped!
so now I always ask first.

Well the description said embellished design, no reference to what embellished meant (To me embellishing it where you stick charms and ribbons on, but to her it meant the majority of the canvas didn't need stitching), and made no reference to what was actually embellished.

I sent her a mail afterwards telling her that she could have been a bit more specific. She sent me a rather haughty one back. Basically saying that it said embellished and it's not her fault if I can't read it, but if I send the design back she'll refund me >_> That wasn't the point of my email at all, I just wanted to go into more depth over my rating than the comment box allows, and I wanted her to know that her description obviously wasn't good enough if I didn't get it. I would have used her again if she hadn't have sent me the email back that she did.
