Thanks for the link. This sounds like a great plant, and I really want to use it, but I think I will start with a bed that is a distance from the house. That way I can see the color splash but maybe not see the smashed parts if a cat comes along and tries to get groovy.

It looks like many people do not have the problem, but there are a few it seems. That one person in the link said there was a cat with a glazed look in its eyes. I guess it just depends on the cats in the 'hood.

I had not seen any cats at all around the neighborhood. Not a cat anywhere in sight. No evidence of a cat. Until today. Really. Today. Just today, for the first time. I saw evidence of a cat. I saw some little footprints across my hot tub cover. And you know what? Those little footprints gave me paws for thought.

Here's why:

I used to write these TOTV posts from my kitchen. But now my computer is in a room that is nearly all windows. Windows to the left of me. Windows to the right of me. Windows in front of me. AND......you got it. Windows behind me.

So now I am wondering, in fact I am beginning to think it must be so, considering those cat footprints, on the hot tub cover, on that hot tub that is out there BEHIND ME!!!! Do you think that looking in that window, that window behind me, reading through that window, over my shoulder, reading about my big plans to plant Walker's Low Nepeta, aka CATMINT.....Do you think there could have been, ohhhhh, nooooo, a peeping tomcat?? A PEEPING TOMCAT!!!
