365Caws is now in its 16th year of publication. If I am unable to post daily, I hope readers who love the natural world and fiberarts will seize those days to read the older material. Remember that this has been my journey as well, so you may find errors in my identifications of plants. I have tried to correct them as I discover them. Likewise, I have refined fiberarts techniques and have adjusted recipes, so search by tags to find the most current information. And thank you for following me!

The Six Pound Portrait
Day 299: On June 10, Merry came home with me as a little bitty pocket cat weighing two pounds eleven ounces (I actually didn't weigh him until the following day). He was such a tiny, delicate thing, all turned over for ears, and with golden eyes just starting to show green around the irises. He's now just shy of six pounds, and his eyes have become much more green, the colour typical of adult Russian Blues. Average weight for an 18-week kitten according to Mr. Google should be about 4.1 pounds, but even at 6, he's rangy and lanky. In other words, he's going to be a moose when he grows up! I couldn't resist snapping this photo this morning. I have one of Tippy in almost the identical pose.
