GW: How do they do it?
I was checking my work email this morning when I noticed movement out of
the corner of my eye. I focused just in time to see Maya trip over a vase full of flowers, which promptly crashed into dozens of glass shards. Not a good way to start the morning. So I rushed to grab my sandals to start cleanup and I thought I felt something slightly moist inside my sandal, but given the circumstances, I paid no attention to it. After cleanup has finished, I sat down to have my breakfast and read the paper. Imagine my surprise when I look down at my food and I see kitty barf spread all over my foot! Ick. I hopped to the kitchen to grab a paper towel to clean myself and then went to look at my sandal. No exterior sign of barf. But neatly tucked *inside* was indeed half a kitty barf. How on earth did they manage to barf the inside without touching the outside is beyond me. Oh yeah, I forget. Practice makes perfect. And they have daily practice. -- Victor M.

How do they do it?
Willow tests gravity with everything. I always have fresh flowers and she
had reduced me to buying plastic (ugh) vases. Trying to clean glass and keep three cats out of the mess got to be too much. I can't buy red carnations because O. T. EATS them and them only.

Martinez Owned and operated by the Fantastic Seven (TM) Send your spam he Email me he That`s what immediately came to my mind - a life full of practise.gg I can`t use any vases. They have to stay in the cupboard.sigh Oh yes - every year once at my birthday I get flowers - have to put the vase and flowers in it on a tall wardrobe where no cat has managed ever to climb up. But there the flowers get forgotten. And every fall I put the vase and dry flowers down.sighAnyway - I love the flowers in my garden. There`s the right place for them. Bettina |

Or is that red carnations just taste good? You must try some of several colors and report back to us, Granby? Pam S. visualizing Granby with various colored carnations hanging out of her mouth |

Nope, just the red ones, I grow pale pink ones and white but the red ones
he loves. I bought "museum paste" that rubbery stuff you can hold things down with to put on the bottoms of the vase Last Holiday I had a Amaryllis (?) that had 5 blooms on a stem, kind of rare and Willow tested gravity with it, almost lost her happy home.

Both cats are way too interested in them, and sooner or later they pull the vase over, possibly dropping it to the floor. -- Marina, Miranda and Caliban. In loving memory of Frank and Nikki. |

In loving memory of Frank and Nikki. I can't have flowers or even plants in my house - they would all want to eat them. The only thing I have growing in my place is cat grass.
