365Caws is now in its 14th year of publication, and was originally intended to end after 365 days. It has sometimes been difficult for me to find new material, particularly during the winter months, but now as I enter my own twilight years, I cannot guarantee that I will be able to provide daily posts. It is my hope that along the way I may have inspired someone to a greater curiosity about the natural world. If so, I can rest, content in the knowledge that my work here has been done.

Skunk's New Couch
Day 316: This is Skunk's new couch. It is not my new couch. I have been granted permission to sit on it once, and grudgingly. One does not inconvenience cats in this household, and with possession firmly established by virtue of occupancy, the very thought of removing a pillow and settling down on one corner of a cushion is unthinkable. It would tilt Her Majesty in repose, and that would never do.
Besides functioning as a bed for the Queen of the household, it is also her playground. The firm cushions are ideal for chasing your tail, and the soft pillows can be dived under and scrunched up against the arms. It sounds like someone beating carpet when she's bouncing around, but invariably when silence again reigns supreme, I look over, and this is what I see.
