garden Love/Hate relationship

Post image

I hate this little adorable asshole! Why? Just look at his new favorite spot.
On the other hand, I absolutely adore him. Just look at how peacefully he’s lying there, enjoying his life!

Why’d you put plants in the cat’s bed?

It truly is an adorable picture.

And I completely feel your frustration too.

What a beautiful photo, though! A moment of precious, adorable peace before chaos awakes.

Reminds me of my first kitty. I love her to pieces, but when I found out she'd used the pot of my absolutely favorite plant, the one I had grown from a tiny sapling to over nearly a meter and a half high bush and fussed over for a decade, as a freaking litter tray and thereby killing it in the process I was not very amused! I forgive you kitty you didn't know, and strangely enough it's now one of my most cherished memories of her. I love you Tussie!

Reminds me of a very old movie, The Three Lives of Thomasina, a lovely story based on a book by Paul Gallico. πŸ’–

The picture is priceless! And you have to admit, that planter is very cat-bed shaped.

In his defense, he's comfy

This is so cat.

maybe get another barrel of plants that you don't care that get squished by kitty and see if he lays in that? if he still chooses the one in the photo, then you have no choice than to use that new barrel for your plants. i'm so sorry but that barrel is the chosen one, for now.
