Fishin’ today on a big blue beast (I have a very healthy respect for the ocean) wearing Flamingo Party.

Had a wee calamity on the way out and I was doused by a wave, so I had to wash my scarf... and I’m not at home so I had to improvise a place to dry it!

Just for fun, here’s my wild beast running!
(She’s at her favorite kennel, where they spoil her and she gets to run)

It took me a long time to gather up everything. I even installed a water softener in my home as our town water is super hard. New iron, ironing board cover, wash bin, special liquid soap, and color catcher sheets. A couple of soft old white towels and my egg timer. Once I had everything assembled it is quick and easy. Just follow the directions in Mai Tai's handwashing scarf blog entry. About 3 minutes of constant gentle swishing in soapy water, two cold rinses, roll in towel to absorb water, hang over clean towel on shower rack. Ready to iron in 20 minutes.

Thank you, and good luck. So far I've only washed older ones that reeked of perfume. They are good practice for me.

True enough on quirky behavior! I have two tortie sisters now; I have had cats all my life, but these two are the oddest I've ever had (even the staff at the vet goes, "You have *two* torties? Ooooh...." !). They're 10 years old, and they've only *just* started to accept that my MIL isn't going to eat them (though the jury is still out on the mailman or anyone who rings a doorbell). They were, in fact, feral rescues as babies, but sometimes it's like they never realized they're safe.

I'm sorry to hear about your girlie; I wish you happy memories of her this week.

Thank you! Your girls sound like a fun handful. My vet also told me that almost all torties are girls!

I heartily endorse an adoption, Awillow! It’s like having a parttime wild cat in your home. I find it the sweetest contradiction that these supremely indolent creatures that sleep 15 hours a day in the lap of luxury become the most fearsome carnivore when on the hunt. With their flexible bodies, quick and lithe movement and speed, nocturnal eyesight, excellent sense of smell (not canine level but excellent, nonetheless), they are nature’s perfect hunter. And to stay on topic, here’s a leopard in Cosmographia:

Biggest fear for me is accidentally flattening the hem. Hasn’t happened yet. :pray: I use a cotton hankie over the silk when I iron. @Redbirdhermes , how do you iron, please? I know this needs to go to a different thread if the discussion continues.

I iron front side up, up to the hem, while still slightly damp, so I'm not using steam. I did get a brand new iron, or else I would worry about having to use a cloth for protection as well.
