#he also ate sunflower seedlings i was trying to start a few years ago

I got a new houseplant today!!! It’s an umbrella tree, and it’s adorable. Unfortunately, I didn’t realize that it’s super toxic to cats (I had one before, but it was while I was in college, so I didn’t need to worry about pet friendliness), so I have to keep it on a high shelf and make sure our two boy cats stay out of my room since they’re the ones that eat plants 😅 (they’re already banned from my room because they like to munch my plants; Bunchy is a good girl and doesn’t consume my leafy children)

(Send me a 🌻 and I’ll tell you something!)

#max actually more goes after fish when i have them then plants even #but he does like plants #he also eats lettuce #loki prefers dried plants but also likes flowers #we had an african violet on our kitchen windowsill for a while but it never had any flowers and also coincidentally loki wasn’t eating much #and would throw up every few days and we were like ??? and then we caught him eating the plant #he also once ate the entirety of a baby (like 2 little 3-inch leaves) aloe vera plant that i had after breaking into my room #but those aren’t toxic so he was fine #he also ate sunflower seedlings i was trying to start a few years ago #his favorite is dried kale and spinach tho #he goes crazy for the stuff #we dehydrate it ourselves in a dehydrator and he spends the day or two that it takes just #circling the floor under the counter where we put the dehydrator #it’s actually to the point where we get the dehydrator out and he starts going crazy and just... crying for the dried kale/spinach #and we’re just like sir it’ll be a few days yet but here’s some fresh stuff #sorry i went on a ramble there but our cats are weird and i love them but i also love my plants so i just have to watch out for loki #fortunately he knows he’s not supposed to be in my room and i keep my door closed to protect the plants #but sometimes he’ll sneak in if he sees it open so i have to make sure to block it when i go out because it doesn’t latch so it opens p easy #chit chat #asked and answered #claire’s tag
