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.

Her Imperial Majesty, Skunk
Day 365: There is no doubt about it, Skunk is the queen of the household. She's getting on in years and is a bit arthritic in addition to being deaf, but she still manages to keep Tip in line when he wants to play too rambunctiously. She spends most of her day perched on the back of my recliner or sleeping on the seat, or if I happened to take possession of the chair before she could stake a claim, she will insert herself beneath my book or needlework to curl up on my lap. If you serve Her Majesty well, she will reward you with her warmth and a soft purr of contentment.
