Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / February 2007Flower Arranging with Your Cat
On monday, I bought a bouquet of pink carnations, and made them into one large and one small bouquet in my apartment. (It was my birthday, wanted to brighten things up.) Nina mostly leaves the large bouquet on my coffee table alone. But she and I are having a running argument about the arrangement of the carnations in the small bouquet on my diningroom table. I think the flowers belong IN the vase. Nina finds this dull, and it seems a bouquet just isn't a bouquet to her unless the flowers are scattered all over the table and the carpet. I gather them up again and put the poor flowers back in the vase; she takes them back out and strews them properly. I've never been able to catch her in the act, though. She evidently finds the art of flower arranging more interesting than that of knocking some sense and discipline into plastic drinking straws. =o) Melissa > On monday, I bought a bouquet of pink carnations, and made them into > one large and one small bouquet in my apartment.

It could be - it could *just* be - some sporadic, inexplicable reverse-gravitational force concentrated on that one vase. I have the same phenomenon here, from time to time, with small objects arranged on just about any table in the apartment. Do *not* rule that out! I mean, otherwise, wouldn't Nina also rearrange the flowers in the larger vase?

I've given up on ever having any flowers in the house. I've only just managed to teach Caliban to leave the potted plants alone. There's hope, though. When Frank and Nikki were young, they would also kill all flowers in vases, but as they grew older, they lost interest in flowers and would leave them alone. Funny, though, that it's only the one bouquet that Nina is interested in. Maybe she has the sam,e decorating gene that Miranda does, and thinks the small bouquet would look better all scattered. SignatureMarina, Miranda and Caliban. In loving memory of Frank and Nikki.

I try to remember which flowers are not poisonous, because all the cats will come and chew one them at one point or another. Xoxo and Luna will eat some leaves from the stems and then barf on the carpet (cream colored) without fault. :) SignatureVictor M.

While practicing some macro shots of the flowers with my new camera, I found I couldn't use over half of them. Chester hairs hanging off the beautiful flower petals ... Susan M Otis and Chester
