Cat Burglar Strikes

It was a night like any other.  We were fast asleep when suddenly I was awoken with a bang and a crash.  I leaped out of bed and ran to the living room to see.....what was left of my heirloom tomato plantings on the floor and one very guilty looking cat sitting next to a pile of dirt.  

I've been so anxious to get going on planting and thought that I hit upon this great idea to use my fruit ripening container to start seeds indoors.  It's domed and big enough to plant about eight tomato seeds.  Great idea, in theory.  For the first couple of days the cat left it alone, secretly planning his strategy, until it seemed that the coast was clear and he could get away with his nefarious deed.  

He can't even look at me.  I hope the guilt is eating him up.


Sigh, I'll just have to wait until it warms up enough to use the greenhouse.  I think it's going to be a couple of weeks.

  1. Cats! Gotta love them. Hope some of your plants survived. But if not, there's still lots of time to start again. I haven't started anything yet - waiting another week or two as I don't like to plant outside much before the end of May. Man, that seems like a long way away.

  2. Oh no! That stinks about your tomato plant! Your kitty does look guilty in that picture, LOL. I hope you have better luck when the weather warms a bit.
