It was of a cat. The cat in the video looked like a cat she used to have, Minnie. So, she replied with a bunch of the nicknames.
I replied with this: I see you saw what I had seen.
I just love this sentence! Present tense: See; Past tense: Saw; Past participle: seen...
I couldn't have explained this 50 years ago, my grip of English (I am a native speaker of English) was because it is my only language, but I knew this is correct.

I was an English major and I didn't see any problem with the sentence, except for going for a ride...See Saw

@RebeccasFarm yes, I think this link will work, but if not, it might be because I'm signed in... this will have all 38 of my posted stories.
