The Cat, The Weekend and The Pansy

Yay, it's Wednesday, we are creeping towards my last day of work....tomorrow!!! Thought I'd share a quick story about our cat, Zoe. For Mother's Day I had gotten a potted Petunia from Peanut's school. The pot has her little hand and fingerprints painted all over it and some little painted lady bugs, the flower in it was a very pretty little purple Pansy. I wasn't sure how long it would make it but I kept it nice and watered and it seemed to be doing surprisingly well...little did I know that our long weekend trip to Marquette would be the end of the Pansy. When we got back from our trip I walked in to see the pot on the island....with only loose dirt in it. No flower, no stem, no roots....hmmmm that was definitely weird. All of my previous cat eating plant experiences have left some major plant greenery attached; mangled, but attached none the less. So I look closer at the island top and see dirt....as I move to the dining room I see a lot more dirt on the carpet....and some in the living room. That was the end of the evidence...no roots, no stem, no flower to be found. What that means is she delicately removed my Mother's Day Pansy without knocking over the pot or leaving any greenery behind. She then dragged it through the house to ensure dirt would be scattered as far and wide as possible...and proceeded to eat (or hide, but I don't think that's the selected option) my Mother's Day Pansy. Wow, now that takes thought and incite....even from a cat. The Mother's Day Pansy has been replanted and Peanut approved. We are both still not on speaking terms with Zoe. Have a great Wednesday everyone! (PS Peanut had a good day yesterday, ate more at daycare since Miss Missy was back from vacation. Today's picture features some of Peanut's homemade favorites...)
