Cindy's friend Lorraine, also a Master Gardener, makes beautiful container succulent gardens and gave one to Cindy recently. It's a study in subtle blues, greens and pinks and looks like one of Monet's famous water lilies paintings. At least, that's what it did look like....
We put it on the tea cart in the dining room so we could admire it every day. Then one day last week we found our kitten, Jenna, downstairs under the table with a strange looking toy in her mouth; of course, it was one of the plants from the succulent garden. We took it away from her and Cindy replanted it, but the next day we found several plants missing and pieces of them all over the dining room and family room downstairs. So, we had to take the beautiful succulent garden into protective custody in the garage.
The next day the neighbors across the street gave us a pot with orange, red and pink bromeliads. We thought it was big enough to be safe on the tea cart, but it wasn't long before Jenna was back up there sniffing the bromeliad leaves and pulling decorative moss out of the pot. So now it's outside, too.
We can't figure out why this kitten has suddenly decided to become a vegetarian (except at mealtimes, of course, when she's definitely a carnivore).
