The Feline Attack
"GrlIntrpted" wrote in message . net... Okay, so I picked up a kitten that I found on the street while at a BBQ at a friend's house. The green eyed, black kitten just came up to me and looked up [sigh... do I give a new meaning to a "sucker born every minute" eh?] . Got it to a vet first thing Sunday morning, then bought all the kitten "chuckies" including a rhinestone collar g...[looks fantastic btw ]. Needless to say the kitten is as ungrateful as cats get, and decided to befriend the BS Paph sukhakulii. I have no idea why the orchids when there is a fish tank full of very plump cichlids just winking at the cat. I arrived home earlier today to the orchid laying on it's side on top of it's pot, with some roots that were ripped off the plant. I immediately cleaned out the roots to see the extent of the damage. I'd say 25% of the root system is gone, some of the leaves have chewing marks on them. I repotted the orchid immediately and I'm wondering what else I can do to help the orchid survive such hostile friendship? What can I do to discourage the cat from going after the plants? Mariana Who really dislikes cats, but this was just too cute .... Remember the old metal bandaid boxes? A penny inside startles kittens when they are getting ready to explore where they shouldn't be. Works immediately. Any metal can will do. An old coffee can would suffice. |
