Ouchy!
Mine only pulls pins from my quilts and thank God hasn't tried to eat them yet

My cat doesn't do that, but she does try to sample the lavender plant we have.

Anytime I bring a plant home, I've brought home a salad bar for them...

OH MY GOSH! I have never seen that before! Cats are so funny!

I have very few live plants in the house because of the cats. My last Cat Boo-Boo would puke if you looked at him cross eyed. I wasn't going to bring in plants for me to clean up after when he got a hold of them. Boo died and now I have "ol Steel Stomach" He might be able to handle this, but it would scare me. He does so love to take the pins from the cushion though.

Marsye, I would have to remove the plant. I just cringe to think of it. That is so not right!:roll:

Dear Rudy's person:
You have a very handsome boy there, and he must be smart too. He knows where the best places to hang out are. :wink:

Thanks, he's a cutey alright! He's from a shelter that brings dogs (Sato's) and cats up from kill shelters in Puerto Rico and the other islands. From what we're told, the New England area is very good at spaying/neutering pets so we don't have an excess of puppies and kittens. Rudy knew from day one where to "nest." Before throwing them in my re-use box, I always tie a knot in plastic shopping bags so no one will get in and suffocate. When I first brought him home, Rudy would grab these and make a nest in the back of my sewing room, behind some bags of fleece. Must have been some type of survival behavior. Oh yeah, he also used to steal drinking straws out of my glass (man, he was fast!) and store them under a throw rug. Don't know why other than to think he missed his pina colada's!

When my cactus was still alive, 2 of 3 cats loved to do just that. Now they attack my poor philodedron occasionally and Phil doesn't hold up well under their attack. Any plant or flowers brought home is a salad bar for those two. They cry to go out but won't let them as I live too near 2 very busy, major roads where people don't stop for deer let alone cats.

I keep only couple pet friendly plants, that is to say, that Annie our cat leaves alone. I did buy pet grass at a Petco store for Annie and the Katie the dog likes it too. They munch a few leaves (it's like a mini lawn) and then leave it alone. I replace the plant container every 2 months or so. I notice they have been munching more since it's winter.
