I found this growing in an empty planter on the front porch this morning. Does anyone know what it is??? I know it's not a pussy willow or a tiger lily - so what the heck is it? Do you think I should water and feed it??? :confused::confused:

Aww, that's one of the prettiest species there are - how lucky! They need fresh water two times a day, and some dry kibble of high quality. Also, try with raw liver and raw fish, and they will grow like weed. :D
What a cutie! :love:
Oh, some fresh water and healthy food given daily makes this variety thrive! Lucky you to have one growing on your porch!:D
yep, and don't forget to shower it with love several times a day!Quote:

Do NOT water from above! It may flee in protest!
It's catweed Felinus Duffleweed and can be picky about its environment!
I was going to say something very similar --- you might want to use a dish to water this species. That way it can take in as much water as it needs.Quote:

Oh that's good one. I have posts display latest first, so when I scrolled to the bottom I expected some greenery. I should know better with you guys.
So are you going to nurture the catweed or give it to catweed rescue group?
If you nurture the catweed, I hear catweeds like to have a name.
I am the rescue group! :D This catweed's name is Sherbie - my stray who came to stay over 9 years ago. We think he was 3 or 4 when he showed up here. He has his own outside "apartment", and also one next door. But I believe he likes what I have on the menu better than at his other place of abode, since he never fails to show up for breakfast and dinner.Quote:

Okay, I remember that name now! Sherbie's a true player, dividing his time between his peeps!Quote:

Our Human Dad always leaves food and sheter like you , and try to help wherever he can.
Sherbie is a doll , a Great Creamsice Cat!!!:cool::cool::love::D:)
Oh how I'd love to find that on MY porch!
Hi Sherbie, it's so nice to see you! I'm sending you lots of scritchies and lovies :love:
That darn catweed is thriving in the planter, and it can be found there on a daily basis now. Guess I won't be putting any plant of my choosing in it this year. :( I just can't figure out what the big attraction is, as he never occupied it before!
This year, the sun is aligned in the precisely proper positioning for the catweed's needs - until the planets, in their ever-changing subtle peregrinations throughout the solar system lined up just so, it just was not right!

Oh yeah - cat is also known as velcro kitty when it comes to Sparky. Poor Spark can't even take a dump without Sherbie rubbing all over him and staying glued to him. It's comical to watch them walking all around the back yard - glued together! Myndi tolerates but discourages any such actions tho, and Sherbie gets the message and leaves her alone.Quote:
