A Well-Run House
By the cats, that is, certainly not by me. I awoke this morning and found four (4) used drinking straws in bed with me. Theresa Stinky Pictures: http://community.webshots.com/album/125591586JWEFwh My Blog: http://www.humanitas.blogspot.com Make Levees, Not War |

A Well-Run House
LOL! Reminds me of why I don't have house plants any more. I used to keep
several nice ones along my kitchen counter. Not long after adopting my first cat here, I woke up one morning and felt something wet on the bed. It was a piece of one of the plants! I got up to see how bad the damage was, and there was a trail of plant pieces all the way down the stairs, across the living room, and to the kitchen counter! Not long after that I confined all house plants to the bathroom. A while after that I put some more in the kitchen (on the window sill this time), but they were all cactus. For some reason, the cats left those alone! Sandy "Kreisleriana" wrote in message ... By the cats, that is, certainly not by me.

LOL! Oh lord, I know that feeling! Nina adores drinking
straws--they're her favorite toys. And now that I finally have a comfy chair to sit in for TV watching, the cats have also adoped it. It's really quite companionable to be sat up on by three cats while watching TV. Just don't have any illusions you'll be allowed to get up to take a bathroom break! Melissa |

For some reason, the cats left those alone! Cacti are not necessarily cat-deterrents. Ages ago, when Tennessee was a young, slim, sleek kitty, we had one. This one was completely covered with 1" spines. It was about the size of a football (American football), and I looked over and saw Tennessee trying to bite it. It went something like this: Open mouth, lean forward... ouch! Tilt head to a new angle, open mouth, lean forward.... ouch. Repeat. Repeat again. This went on for over 5 minutes, until he heard me giggling, looked over and saw me watching him, then did the typical "I wasn't doing that" cattitude sulk away.

Maybe he was using them as toothpicks or something. ;o) -- Marina, Miranda and Caliban.
