Mom, why is this protective blue tape still on this door? No one scratches it anymore, meaning you could have removed it eons ago. Why not?

Why does my fur look red in the sun, yet black when not in the sun? Why is that? What, we need another ginger girl in the house?

Why is this rug so big? I look positively dainty and insignificant on such a big rug. What do you say to getting some small rugs so I look bigger?

Why aren’t there black cats roaming around in our backyard? It looks like a jungle out there. Wouldn’t black cats wandering around look great in that jungle? When can we get a panther or two?

It’s beginning to look like the Colehaus Cats facebook page might be dead to us. We can’t log in to cross-post these blog entries without getting the dreaded Too Many Redirects error message. We’ve researched that half to death and after complying with the dozen or more likely “fixes” and talking to WordPress (to make sure it was nothing on our domain end), it seems the only true fix is to start up a new, from scratch Colehaus Cats facebook page and hope the same doesn’t happen. A few people claim they had limited luck with reinstalling Windows, but since the problem isn’t on our end, we’re forced to wait it out to see if it clears up on its own, or give up.

We’re not quitters so we’ll try logging into facebook every Monday, Wednesday and Friday, when we usually cross-post. But we don’t recommend holding your breath. If you do have any suggestions, we’ll gladly take them. We’re all ears!

UPDATE: Mom discovered a fix! By bypassing logging into facebook as usual (yes, we know facebook is supposed to be capitalized – they aren’t getting that from us at the moment), she used facebook.com/home and got in. Then she selected light theme and clicked on go to news feed at the prompt.

This brought up the original Colehaus Cats page that ended in September 2013, weeks before Angel mama Zuzu gave birth to those adorable Niblets. We say ended because facebook was threatening to delete our page because it wasn’t a person’s page, but a pet page which they frowned upon back then. And so, after creating a new Colehaus Cats page just in time for everyone to enjoy those Niblets-to-be, facebook said they had deleted the original page for the not-a-person-page violation. Obviously NOT!

Mom really blasted fb when asked about her experience with the “new facebook beta look.” She was sure 7 years of friendships and shared events were wiped out, and along with some other things, told fb they didn’t have enough tissues for her tears . . . when suddenly, the current Colehaus Cats page popped up.

So, we’ll consider this Too Many Redirects error thing fixed. It is definitely facebook’s servers causing the problem and we hope the countless other people going through this discover this fix.

Thanks for reading through this!

  1. You sure have a lot of questions, Olivia! But we have no answers for you. 🙂 Glad your mom figured out the facebook thing.

  2. That is too bad, you are having so much trouble with Facebook. Glad you got it got it worked out.

  3. Olivia, Eastside Cats ADORES housepanthers, and you all can never ask too many questions.
    Sorry to hear that FB is being a butt, then again, we’ve been in jail since early March, and cannot put our blog url on FB at all. Still cannot image what we posted that was disreputable, but we are getting no info from FB.

    Why are you so cute Olivia?!?! Facebook is just plain strange sometimes.

  7. Olivia, you are an inquisitive kitty! These are very good questions. We’re glad your mom figured that out.

  8. Ellen Pilch says:

    You are most inquisitive Olivia. 🙂

  9. Housepanthers are full of questions. Trust me! And you have to answer them.

  10. Summer says:

    That issue with FB actually turned out way better than expected! My human loathes FB with a passion, when it comes to promoting the blog there. Other social media venues play WAY nicer. FB is all about cold, hard cash.

  11. meowmeowmans says:

    Olivia, inquiring cats want to know. And you most certainly are an inquiring cat! 🙂

    Hooray that you figured out a way to get around the fb thing. I remember when you had that issue when the Niblets were born.

    Hugs!

  12. That’s a lot of questions, Olivia ! Purrs

  13. So many questions, Olivia! I am glad your mom got her FB page sorted out.

  14. Sandy says:

    I’m glad everything seems to have worked out. Olivia has many questions – I hope Mom can answer some of them : )
