Behavior, Eating
Oops….I got caught.
Why in the world mom even tries growing plants in this house is beyond me. Why does she have plants, that to me, seem obvious should be for my enjoyment - but then yells at me every time I indulge?
And frankly, I’ve done such a number on them I not sure why she keeps them around…..
I’m not allowed outside. So these crappy plants are the next best thing.
Well, today I got caught in the act of trimming the plants. I really don’t understand what the big deal is - I mean come on - look at that plant. She
might as well just let me have my fun with it and save herself all the aggravation of shooing me away from it whenever she sees me munching down.She yells things like, “Knock it off! You’re just going to throw it up later!”.
Well, yeah, that is the point, isn’t it?
Rumor has it she used to have a house full of plants years ago when they lived in Texas and had quite the green thumb.
Now that they have moved to Colorado, her green thumb seems have turned brown. I do believe watering the plants might help. I don’t see her doing it much, but I’m just a cat. What do I know? In the meantime, I have made myself the designated plant trimmer…..

I won’t be outdone!
There are many things about cats that people will never understand. One being the amazing ability I have to reproduce my dinner 10 minutes after eating it, in almost the exact form it had coming out of the can. My genius regarding placement on the carpet cannot be matched - until recently. I came upon a worthy opponent.
I don’t know the full details of how it happened since I was up on my safe spot - the armoire in mom and dad’s room. There were little children in the house which is always my queue to get as high as I can.
All I do know is that towards the end of the evening, the big carpet cleaning vacuum came out - the one normally reserved for things I have done. Curious, I finally made my way downstairs once the house was quiet.
The vacuum cleaner was still out - and the stain was still there. Nice and red. Wow. Turns out one of the little people spilled a glass of wine. A stain so powerful, the carpet cleaner could not get it out. I was impressed.
Over the next couple of days, they continued to try to get the stain out to no avail. Finally, mom came home with what seemed to be magic in a bottle. One spray of the stuff and that stain disappeared!
This got my wheels turning….first off - I could not let a 2 year old out stain me!!! Second, curiosity got the best of me. I wondered if I could produce a stain so powerful that the magic in the bottle could not get it out.
I waited a day after the red stain was gone. Vacuums nicely put away, carpets clean and back to normal. Then let it rip. I was able to pull off a stain like no other. The best part was placement - right next to where the red stain was. That little tidbit, I would like to say, did not go unnoticed by the other members of the household. The word “ironic” kept popping up - whatever that means.
Well, hats off to the cleaner. It seemed to get my stain out as well, although, I’m proud to say, I can still see a faint, faint outline. I’m sure you are dying to know what cleaner is so powerful it was able to get the stain out…..come on! I’m a cat. How am I supposed to know?
