sort of multiple bulbous root this pint filled one entire window in he living room and was so heavy i couldn t even lift it it had alwav been hardy and healthy and then suddenly it wasn t there i was at a loss to account for the change until the day 1 discovered mitchic white asleep on top of my precious fern it was an ideal spot with the warm sun streaming in through the window i knew mitch ie had been playing with the trailing fronds but making a bed of the fern was something 1 hadn t even thought of as possible eventually i had to cut off ail the fronds and repot the fern splitting it lnt four while i was at it in the other living room window i have an asparagus fern michie cant sleep on top of it as the p t isn t big enough so he nibbles at the fronds instead upstairs in a big south bedroom used only whe i we have guests i ha a varicl ef house plains whictrtconsidcred comparatively safe until last sun- jayawfejw artwereout and brought a young couple with them june brought her english terrier friendly and well behaved even with honey and mitch it was all over the place presently i heard it chasing around upstairs but in a few minutes it was down aga n next day i was up to water m plants such a sight as met my eyes one cactus was lying out of itajol another was on the floor its fancy container broken two of my potted ferms were also lying among a debris of broken pots and earth and various shoois were snapped off my geraniums and begonia worst than that some of thesi plants belonged to friends who h i j been maying here before christmis they had left them in my

the living room window glass and all in my den i have on the wind w sill one begonia and a lowpnni hon yesterday while we were l breakfast i heard a crash 1 found the begonia lying on th poor its pot broken and mitch white scampering away so 1 have come to the conclusion that mitchic among plants is like a bull in china shop too bad because in every other respect he is a well behaved and intelligent pussy cat which reminds me i visited i house in town last week wher there was a four year old cat fh it had never been outside by itself it had a little harness and was taken oulside by some member o the family at various times during the day this was because all i s predecessors had either b kil stolen poisoned or run away before leaving the subject o plants and cats i have two christmas cacti both of which bloomed just before chris one hs5 already bloomed again and the other is a mass of buds cats and dogs notwithstanding has anyone else had a similar icncc maybe even house
