arwen_luneCats eat tomato seedlings, if given the chance.
Damn, damn, damn. And the mystery tomatoes were coming along so well.
Have reseeded and I'm using the snake tank as a cat-safe propagator. Guess that's one advantage to it still not selling. Just wish I'd thought of that yesterday or this morning.
I think I'll plant out the first batch of seedlings this afternoon... forecast is looking good.
In other news: both cats are 100% with the litterbox. Got through the night okay, though Tijgje jumped on me at 5:45. Then Roo kittyloafed in front of my stomach and a while later Tijgje curled up next to my pillow and I snoozed for a few hours.
They're mostly hanging out in the kitchen - not sure it's because they're hungry (dry food is put out) or because they just like it there. They both like to kittyloaf on the kitchen chairs - same chairs Padoek used to love sleeping on. Roo has just started playing a little bit if I make toys move - no interest in balls and other things though. They are both affectionate but not clingy - nice balance really.
My mostly black and dark blue clothes are covered in white hair. Oh well.
The food thing worries me a bit because Roo is skinny. I don't want to indulge them with yummy wet food when the plan is to get them on high quality dry food * but I'm going to the supermarket to at least get cat milk to get some calories into him.
* Once you learn how to label read you can't ever feed your pets Cheapy McChow ever again. The supermarket doesn't have any food that has more than 5% actual meat content! I'd really like to feed something completely grain-free like Orijen, but can't really afford. I've found something within price range that has a decent meat percentage (actual meat, not 'derivatives' ie chicken feet) and of the grains mostly has brown rice, which is acceptable. And the local pet shop sells it, so I can get some on monday. Now let's hope they'll eat it...
