Hi.  Nother Newbie here.  

Hoping to make lots of new friends!

I recognise some names from reading stories on the Circuit and Hatstand, and feel quite honoured to be mingling with such august persons!  

---

 Ravenstone! Know what you mean - and they're not only august; they're fun too!  

---

Even september in some cases.

Welcome to the board!

Hi Ravenstone.  

I see I'm too late to do a 'month' joke, but I know just what you mean. I belong to the 'can just about write his own name' group so I've always been fascinated by those who can make a story come alive.

We have a mix of everything here and it can be a lot of fun.

Merry will be along in a bit. She is out christmas shopping at the moment. Homebase now I think.

(Yhere goes the 'cool' reputation )

Hello Ravenstone!  Welcome to HF !    

Hope you will feel immediately at home in our happy little forum and start posting away!

What's not cool about Homebase?      

I did like one little sign above a display in said shop this morning:

To avoid disappointment, please note that all reindeer are for display purposes only and not for sale to customers

Such a shame, I really wanted a life-size reindeer in white plastic wicker with scary flashing eyes.

 wergh.

I does hope you like it here.

Thank you all for the lovely welcome!

And a cat as well!  Lovely.  You know what they say - people who don't like cats were probably mice in previous lives  

Dogs have masters - Cats have staff.

Dogs come when you call them - Cats will take a message and get back to you.  Maybe.

Dogs think, "This person feeds me and makes me a home - they must be God!".  A Cat thinks, "This person feeds me and makes me a home - I must be a God!"

Yes - I've got three little Buddhas right here.  All fresh and clean after a bath tonight.

Yes - I do bath my cats.  No - I don't lick them.

Hi Ravenstone & welcome. I'm very intrueged how you bath a cat. Safely.
I'm having to put eyedrops on one of my cats. I don't like him, he doesn't like me and he has the advantage of claws. It is much fun. Would anyone like a slightly damaged cat?

If you google "how to bathe a cat" you'll find some funny stuff.

Here's one I found attributed to "The Dog":

How to Bathe a Cat

1.   Thoroughly clean toilet.

2.   Lift both lids and add shampoo.

3.   Find and soothe cat as you carry him to bathroom.

4.  In one swift move, place cat in toilet, close both lids and stand on top, so cat cannot escape.

5.   The cat will self agitate and produce simple suds.  (Ignore ruckus from inside toilet, cat is enjoying this)!

6.   Flush toilet 3 or 4 times.  This provides power rinse, which is quite effective.

7.   Have someone open outside door, stand as far from toilet as possible and quickly lift both lids.

8.   Clean cat will rocket out of the toilet and outdoors, where he will air dry.

And of course "how to give a cat a pill" is classic -- and so damned true!
