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.

Good Little Weaver's Cat
Day 63: "I'm gonna go weave. You wanna come with me?" The ears perk up and he raises his head from the cushion of his kitty perch next to my chair in the living room. "Go get in your little weaver's box." He jumps down and races for the Loom Room, immediately jumping up onto the cedar chest to curl up in the box. He can't bear to have me out of his sight, and he knows that if he messes with dangling strings, tie-ups, treadles, heddles or my Christmas cactus collection, he'll be exiled. I sit down to weave, and after the first dozen or so throws, I hear the sound of a contented cat snoring. He's with his mama, and that's all that matters. After I've completed eight inches or so, my shoulders are beginning to object. "Time to go out," I say. And down he hops, has a good stretch to get the kinks out, then exits to the living room, claiming my chair before I even get there.
