I love fresh flowers also! Unfortunately my 2 cats, both indoor only, think that they are special treats for them. They don't seem to eat them but do carry them all through the house. I keep trying each year, making sure I get "safe" flowers, just in case they have finally gotten tired of playing with them. They turn 3 in April and really hope they have gotten to the point that they can just enjoy seeing the flowers without feeling that they have to actively participate in placing them around the house!
