Today I went to the local hardware store to buy a replacement plant for a large rubber plant that suddenly lost all its leaves. I'd had it for almost two years and it was lovely.

I love to decorate with flowers and plants but now that I have TC, I have to be selective. Unlike my dearly departed MC, TC has been known to chew on some of my plants and get into mischief. Orchids are one of my favorite cat-safe plants... the blooms last for months and I can usually purchase a nice large one for ~$20. On the other hand, when I buy fresh flowers, they only last about 5-7 days and a nice bouquet is ~$15. So plants are an economical alternative.

I learned my plant did not like the dark area I had it in, so I had to move it to the sunny third floor. I'm so glad the color has come back. Too bad I lost a lot of leaves in the process.
Oh, I have a smaller one too. Nicely chewed up by said troublemaker striped cat.
