As anyone who has ever had a cat knows, we love to eat houseplants. Now this should concern our humans, because many common plants can be quite toxic to us. Of course we cats laugh at such unexciting dangers. If we want an adrenaline rush, we’ll jump out of a second-story window, or climb so high in a tree that the local fire department has to come rescue us.
I don’t have to worry about poisonous plants in my house. The only thing poisonous is my mamas’ attempts to nurture greenery. Yes, Those Two have the two brownest thumbs imaginable. Or would that be four thumbs? In any case, from a plant’s perspective, their thumbs put the OW in brown!
Well, there is that one sole survivor of their carnage, a pothos that has defiantly hung for years from the ceiling of their bathroom, well out of my reach. (Mama C is probably going to be upset that I’m posting a photo of their toilet. Humans can be so funny about such things!)
Those Two eventually gave up on real plants, and decided to decorate the house with fake plants. I have to say, some of them are quite realistic! I have a favorite. It sits atop the dresser in the spare bedroom. Sometimes I like to jump up there and nosh on it for a bit.
It’s probably a lot like when you go to make a dish from a recipe, only to discover that you lack a key ingredient, so you substitute something else. The dish might not taste as good, but it’s satisfying enough.
Hey, what are you looking at? Can’t a guy grab a bite to eat in peace?
Oxbow's World 
Well well well… At least Mr. Oxbow you’re an honorable cat. You own up to noshing on those green things – even if they are fake. Of course the photos don’t necessarily lie…there you are bold as brass with that fake plant, replete with a guilty look.
I suppose you have to test your mammas patience every now and then. I realize it is important to keep boredom at bay. What’s the harm in a little nosh???
