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.

Young Master Tip
Day 364: I am convinced that the superstition which designates black cats as "bad luck" originated because they justifiably sunk their teeth and claws into people who stepped on them in the dark or sat on them when they were sleeping on dark upholstery, bad luck for the person who was clawed and bitten, but worse luck for the poor cat. Whatever the reason, the reputation is undeserved. I have shared my home with several black or black-and-white cats over the years, and Master Tip is certainly one of the sweetest and most loving kitties I've known. My Boy has been with me for five years now, and certainly qualifies as a stroke of good luck in my book.
