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.

My Fuzzy Valentine
Day 124: Cats are notoriously reluctant to pose for the soul-stealer, but I caught my fuzzy Valentine in an obliging moment. He trusts his mama not to do anything too wicked to him (baths notwithstanding), but no cat is fully comfortable in the glaring eye of the lens. My Tippy is almost sixteen, and a more loving and gentle little person I have never known. Even when we're rough-housing, I do not have to worry about teeth or claws rending skin, and there's nothing he enjoys more than being chased and tickled, and then chasing me in return. What greater love is there than that shared between a companion animal and its human? Don't forget to give your Valentine a scratch under the chin or behind the ears.
