I'm not afraid to admit that I am a "cat person". Steve is not. I guess you're either a cat person or a dog person. Dogs are nice and all, but I'd rather have a cat. This of course, means we have a stalemate situation in our house. While both Cheyenne and I want to get a kitten, Steve is dead against it. You might think that two against one should mean something. It doesn't. As much as I want to get another cat (since my beloved Zephyr passed away last year), I'd prefer to have a peaceful home life, so to keep Steve happy, we haven't got a cat. We haven't given up, though; we are still working on him. Maybe one day he'll give in.
I bought this cat pot plant holder ages ago because it was cute.
It sat empty on my potting table ever since I bought it, for one reason. The pot is so damn small (just 7cm in diameter) I wondered what I could plant in it that wouldn't get pot-bound too quickly.
Recently, I decided that maybe a small ornamental cactus might be ideal, because, A. you can get quite small ones, and B. cacti are better suited to me because I often forget to water my plants. So, despite the fact that the local Bunnings had a nice selection of small cacti, I believe it was fate that decided which one I chose.
Not only was this one the right size, but it was covered in "hair" (which fits with the cat theme). It was flowering when I got it. It gets a ring of pink flowers around the top, which is kinda cool, since none of my other cactus plants have ever flowered. But the best part? It's called "Old Lady" cactus.
So now I have an Old Cat Lady that isn't embarrassing. LOL.
