My favorite cat, whom I inherited from my son when he left for college (many years ago), currently finds my window-sill seed trays to offer her soft and luxurious places to walk upon, lounge, and bask in the early morning light streaming through our east facing windows. Surprisingly, she has only harmed a few seedlings (out of hundreds), here and there, proof perhaps of her mystical qualities (apparently some capacity for levitation?) or maybe just another indication of her extremely intuitive awareness about the shared boundaries that may be tested, disregarded entirely, or compromised cautiously…in this case, she avoided the trays with the most delicate seedlings (Cosmos, Lupines and Asters), and chose instead to recline on (and tip toe across) the lowest growing and therefore least crush-able varieties, which for now are the Delphiniums. I’m thinking she might enjoy her very own seed tray of cat grass and nip…but something tells me she will always prefer the more interesting locations (riskier and intended for Not-Her). :)
