RE: Tips'nTricks Section
This is a combination of Second Life bugs and bad design by other players; there is little, if anything, KittyCatS can do about it. It can happen with anything, not just cats and kitten boxes. The bug happens a LOT but is only a real issue for No Copy items, like cats.
Your Dock is safe. You probably want it there, so use it.
What is always safe to rez on: the simulator Ground, and normal Prims, like a Box
What is usually safe to rez on: Mesh objects .. some are very badly built and might have problems but the problems with mesh are more "I wanted to Cuddle and my cat is spinning in circles" .. in my experience, most of the "Adorable" mesh shops are OK, but some cause problems, while most of the "Scratch'N Post" mesh shops have problems, but some are OK. It seems to depend upon the time and care the mesh designer put into the item. I think it's more related to the (normally invisible) Physics model rather than anything you can see.
What is usually not safe to rez on: Sculpted prim objects (sculpties) .. some are OK, but most will have issues. There seems to be some 'trick' to sculpties which avoids triggering these bugs, but I don't know it.
The "owner does not allow" message attempts to return the item to your inventory. This triggers another Second Life (viewer) bug which causes inventory to **appear** to be lost. In general, log out immediately and log back in. The item should be back where it belongs. If it does not, flush your inventory cache and relog. Wait for your inventory to fully reload. If the item is still gone, and it was a cat, or kitten box, file a ticket. If it was something else, and it was a No Copy item, you'll have to contact the original seller or just accept it's lost forever (but this rarely happens).
My advice is to always rez a normal prim box, rez your no-copy items on it and move them into place. This tests you have the correct group tag and have land rights, and gives you a known-good surface to avoid the issues.
