On kittens, house plants, and vacuums

I currently have 3 under a year, and another one just 18 months. These 4 are quite good at initiating disasters.

Their latest adventure has been to dump ALL the house plant pots, empty the pots of ALL dirt, and drag the plants through out the house, decorating as they go.

I figured the easiest, quickest way to clean up the mess was with the vacuum.

We now have all the house windows open, and will likely be coughing all night long.

What a mess!!!

It sounds like you're living with toddlers. I haven't been able to have real or fake plants in my house or even on my balcony for years. I'd like to see some pictures of this disaster too.

Wee devils! Sounds like they had a lot of fun.

Did you think to take pictures????

Yep, that sounds like my house. I gave up on house plants years ago. I don't like to take care of them anyhow, so no biggie. I'm just picturing the catastrophe in your house and chuckling.

Sorry, no photos.

Now I know why you NEVER use the vacuum to pick up dirt.

Only a broom and dust pan. Live and learn!

haha! I once walked into the kitchen to find that my plant that had formerly been on the windowsill over the sink was now in the sink and covering the sink with a layer of dirt.

This was years ago and I had posted a picture of the mess and said that I wondered which kitty had been responsible (although I was quite sure it was Andy). Someone, and I forget who, said that it looked like a case of a suicidal house plant.

I think that is what happened in your house. Surely you don't have a bunch of mischievous kitties! The plants must have just wanted to end it all.
