This is the 15th year of continuous daily publication for 365Caws. All things considered, it's likely it will be the last year as it is becoming increasingly difficult for me to find interesting material. However, I hope that I may have inspired someone to a greater curiosity about the natural world with my natural history posts, or encouraged a novice weaver or needleworker. If so, I've done what I set out to do.

Finishing Touches
Day 187: This one is for the disbelievers among you. Yes, I bathe my cat. I have always bathed my cats. You start them out as young as possible, introducing the idea of being wet and in the sink gradually, praising them and speaking in a soft voice. But even more critical to the process is a simple action: close your eyes, or at least do not make direct eye contact, which is perceived as threatening. Merry's first bath was a quick wet-down in plain water. His second adventure included a light shampoo and a brief encounter with the sprayer. Yesterday, he got the full Tropicana Cat Wash experience: lather, rinse, repeat, and a thorough towelling. He's not too keen on having his front feet in, but if I allow him to brace himself on the divider between the basins, he was perfectly content to have his tummy soaped up. A clean cat is a happy cat, and soft as a bunny.
