Maukes Shines in a Whirl of Mischief and Mayhem
Olive Thee Miller describes Maukes the cat in lively detail as a playful troublemaker who bursts into action from any seat. The animal springs across the cribbage table scattering cards and pegs, snatches books, and launches dramatic exits. The piece compares Maukes’ sudden leaps to a spring or being flung, noting a remarkable backward or forward vanish on alarm and a curious wall-leap that ends with a dash in another direction, a behavior likened to a squirrel or bird by Popular Science Monthly.
