My cat Silver – the gardener

I am not interested in gardening. Our garden is a catastrophe… Roine cuts the grass and we might do something small now and then, but, as I said: it’s a catastrophe. Some people takes gardening very seriously and cares especially about their lawn. They try to create the perfect lawn with only grass growing there, but we have plenty of different flowers in our lawn, with beautiful Daisies as the most frequent.

I have noticed that our cats takes good care of the moss in our lawn. Moss are not supposed to grow in a perfect lawn of grass. But eventually it does anyway. We don’t bother. What happens is that everything gets dry in the summer, like now, and then the cats like to rip away the moss in order to get some nice soil to dig in and do No2 in… So, they rake away the moss, then fertilize the soil and soon we will get new, fresh grass growing there. Aren’t they clever gardeners?

Silver is a very systematic cat. He has a record with arranging flowers, vomitting in the litter bin and throwing invoices among the recycle paper… and much more. He can really surprise me.

Today I got surprised as well. Look carefully at this picture – can you see that he has gathered all the moss in a little pile by the side of the moss-cleaned area? It’s like he put it there because he wants me to pick it up and throw it.

Remarkable cat.
