My mom always seperates her plants and gives me one.... and the other day she gave me a christmas cactus in a cute reindeer pot... it had one real pretty bloom on it. I sat it on top of the microwave to keep it safe... Tinky and Jupiter are not allowed on the counters and really never jump up there...but the next day.. the poor bloom was withered and cruched up where some curious kitty chewed on it... but I have a bud now where I should have another bloom soon.
