Cat and plants… a purrfect combo

About a week and a half ago, we stopped in at one of my favourite nurseries. I wanted to see if they had any cat grass, as Relic’s been showing signs of a little tummy trouble. They didn’t, but they did have a sign advertising a “Cat Festival” which would be happening there the next week.

Well you know I just had to check that out. I made a date with a local friend, and on Saturday, we headed out.

The festival was put on by the Sarnia Humane society, and featured a number of vendors. I meant to take more pictures, but the place was packed! I was so busy maneuvering around people and trying to get to each booth, that in the end, this is the only other picture I took.

These t-shirts gave me quite the giggle. And you may be wondering…. were there even any cats??? The humane society had a whole section of cats they had available for adoption. Unfortunately, the line up to get into that area was massive! Since neither of us were actually going to adopt a kitty, we decided to skip that part.

That doesn’t mean I came home empty handed though.

I got a couple deliciously cute sugar cookies from a local bakery. And I got some toys for the boys. I found some large sparkle balls – which I haven’t been able to find in years.

He was thrilled and we immediately had a game of fetch when I got home.

Another local vet had a booth there and they were giving away toys springs. They gave me two, and I didn’t think much of it – the boys tend to prefer balls and small stuffies. But I tossed one at Lemmy and he thought it was the best thing ever!

It was hard to get a good picture, because he was shooting it around all over the place. Then all of a sudden, he picked it up and ran out the cat door with it.

I found it abandoned in the catio yard the next day!

And you may be wondering… what about those plants…. well it was a nursery, so of course I came home with a couple.

The first, was some cat grass (finally!)

And it’s been well received by all four boys. They’ve had nothing green to munch on for months.

And for me…

I got a Hoya Kerrii – a fun little heart-shaped plant I’ve wanted for quite a while… now I just have to find a space for it!

All in all, it was a successful, fun adventure!

    That was such a fun adventure! I would want to purchase the poster for the festival and the humane society. Somehow, I have never purchased any of the toy springs. From the response from Lemmy, I think I will pick up a few.
