Welcome to the Mudcat, Wendy. You'll probably find we're all a bit mad here, but no doubt you'll get used to us.

I'm in Sydney, Australia myself, but there are a lot of US catters. I know a couple who live in Long Island who came and visited us last year.

Now that you are a member, check out the FAQ and other features. You can send a PM (personal message) to any other member (but not GUESTs) by clicking on the PM next to their name.

Anything else you need to know, just ask, and someone who knows the answer is bound to come along within minutes.
