Plant killer
I am becoming a plant killer. Yet more evidence that I'm too busy for my own britches. Two weeks or more fly by before I realize that I haven't watered the poor creatures. They should learn to let me know in a manner other than dropping, quietly, the occasional leaf. A good smack across the forehead with a hefty branch would work. Unfortunately, I don't have trees growing in my apartment so they'll either have to put on some serious wood or enlist some outside help. Or perhaps they could fasttrack evolution to the point where they could let out the occasional plaintive wail. The cats aren't doing anything useful during the day, they should check up on them and let me know when the dirt is getting dry. Anything other than my actually having to remember to look in on them myself.

this has v. little to do with your deviance re plants, but can you tell me which cat-sitting service you deal with?

the photo of the deceased, by the way, is very good. is that her blood drying in the background?

A great red gob of greasy grimy plant guts. (With apologies to the gophers.)
