Walter the Gardening Cat makes a Terririum

 This is Walter... and oh, is he bored. Nothing to do, and his plant room maintenance slave (me) is just not up to anything fun.

 He's SO BORED that even stretching out in the middle of everything and politely throwing things on the floor is no fun.

What to do? What to doooo????

 A lightbulb goes on! There are terrariums for the upcoming show to make. Certainly a gardening cat can put together a little something that will win prizes and ribbons (which are good to play with and shred) and this will certainly alleviate the boredom!

 If I only had a video camera... this would be so much more funny.

After each time I reached into the terrarium to pull out something or to arrange something, Walter the Gardening Cat politely took his turn and helped.

First he would look inside very carefully before inserting a paw.

 The paw would go in and out would come just a little something like when I would bring out my hand.

There would be more looking....

 And there would be another paw going in to see what should be arranged much more attractively.

Sometimes we would recline to get a better angle on things,

 And sometimes we would have to be sitting up so we could reach better.

 There was a lot of looking in between to contemplate what was looking good and looking like it needed to be removed.

 Finally, after much consideration and careful planning it was decided that the violet in the terrarium was just not looking good.

Some of the leaves were spotted and not up to the standards of the discerning gardening cat.

 You will note that out came a violet leaf. Ever so carefully was it removed and even more carefully was each bit inspected.

A very new development has come upon the scene. Walter the Gardening Cat might have a gardening helper. He's not too keen on the idea right here, but I would imagine over time that he will be glad to show another apprentice how to be most helpful and efficient in the arts of gardening and growing under artificial lighting. The "plant room maintenance slave" (me) is not sure about this decision either.  *sigh

But... the final project did turn out okie dokie, and Walter is very proud of the ribbon he gets to shred. He thinks that ribbons are really fun... especially if they have extra little strings on them......
