wait until your little kitten friend takes apart a bench full of orchids
while chasing an invisible friend or mouse that thought it could escape from
the cat just by ducking into a group of nearby potted plants.

actually i was at floradise over the weekend (a phal bellina followed
me home--dammit) and they have a cat---i was very surprised at its
adeptness at weaving in and out of the plants w/o knocking anything
over, even little bitty thumb pots. maybe it's age--this was a full
grown cat, perhaps not given to kittenish hijinks any more.

(went down there for the COS show--they had a vanda whose vegetative
part was at least four feet long/high. i get twitchy just thinking
what a job that must have been to get in and out of a car, etc.)
