Cats Have Actually Grown in the Flower Bed, What Is Going On

"There is nothing in the world that a good cat-petting session cannot solve. If there is, then pet the cat twice." Nobody knows when it started, but cats quietly took over the world of young people.

Petting cats and buying flowers are also the most effective ways for Shaoyao to release stress in life. For ordinary young people, having a cat is enough, but for us plant-loving young people, the bar is a tiny bit higher - we need to have flowers as well as cats~

It is the weekend today, so let us show you something light and cute - cats and flowers~ Ah, they are all other people's cats, cute beyond all reason!

Flowers and Cats

Yesterday I wrote about "Story of Yanxi Palace", and spent the whole summer watching the palace intrigues of the noble ladies - first the fights in Yanxi, then the fights in Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace. They probably never imagined that after a lifetime of scheming, in the end this vast Forbidden City still belongs to the imperial cats.

The cats in the Palace Museum never tuck their tails between their legs,

they lie sprawled out boldly beneath the palace walls.

Once in a while they come out for a stroll and become the group favorite,

and right, they do not even need makeup.

Climbing old trees, training their muscles,

"Oh my, I have not practiced in so long, I can hardly hold on~"

Doing a "flying eaves, walking trees" move,

I am the most handsome meow in the Forbidden City.

In spring, right beneath a tree full of blossoms,

lying quietly, pondering the meaning of meow life.

As an elegant and dashing meow,

only flowers are worthy of me.

"Miss, you dropped your boyfriend~"

"Get lost, you big pig trotter!"

Although the Palace Museum has an Imperial Garden and a Cining Palace Garden, the imperial cats have always maintained their royal demeanor and never casually fool around with flowers and grass.

The internet-famous Uncle Cat is different. He could be considered the cat in the world who is best at getting along with flowers and plants. Perhaps the flowers you have seen are not even as many as those Uncle Cat has balanced on his head.

Uncle Cat is a Japanese internet-famous cat,who became popular in Japan for balancing all kinds of things on his head, and was even praised by Japanese people as a "Zen master" and "the most contented and leisurely cat in the world".

Uncle Cat likes best to balance flowers and plants on his head for photos. Strangely enough, these photos have a single angle and a single expression, yet people never tire of looking at them.

With a chrysanthemum on his head,

Uncle Cat made his debut on Instagram with this photo.

Together with Auntie Cat, balancing an internet-famous kousa dogwood flower.

"This hydrangea is so round, rounder than my face."

"This kind of hydrangea is better, there is finally room for my big face."

Trying to be a handsome, serious uncle - failed!

A single "scallion", standing tall and proud,

"Can you see this uncle putting in the effort?"

"I can even balance a round eggplant, impressive, right?"

Uncle Cat: "Oh no, scene of the accident! You did not capture that, did you?"

Wife: "I really cannot bear to look"

Balancing a bitter melon, wiping away the shame!

"Coming out to the wild for some fresh air, the grass feels so soft and cozy"

"Do not think I always have squinty eyes,

my eyes can be big and fierce!

Look! Fierce or not?"

Uncle Cat has also entered many bizarre competitions and achieved very good rankings. For example:

10th place in Moments That Make You Feel Happy

8th place in Cute Tongue

1st place in Farmer Uncle and Auntie

Compared with these skills, balancing flowers and plants on his head is Uncle Cat's one-of-a-kind talent, and ordinary cats simply cannot learn it. No matter what kind of flower or plant it is, he can balance it while smiling, and his head is basically a vase.

After seeing other people's cats, you always feel that cats and flowers were meant to be a match made in heaven! Unfortunately, most cats in cat-lovers' homes are not like that. Want them to take pretty photos with flowers? Impossible. With beautiful flowers right there, a greedy little cat naturally cannot resist eating them, and not every cat has the demeanor of an imperial cat.

But many flowers and plants are toxic to cats. If you are careless and fail to control their mouth, the cat master will get poisoned. There are only two ways to solve this problem:one is to control their mouth, and the other is to avoid contact with toxic plants.

As long as you keep a small pot of cat grass at home, you can, to a certain extent, control your master's mouth~

Let us first talk about cat grass in all seriousness.Cat grass is very beneficial to the cat master's health. It can help the master expel hairballs, ease the burden on the stomach, and also strengthen the body.

Cat grass is not the name of one specific kind of grass. As long as it is grass that cats can eat, it can all be collectively called "cat grass". For the cat master, cat grass is more like a menu, containing all kinds of flowers and plants that can be eaten.

For plant-loving cat owners, you can absolutely grow some plants that can serve as cat grass while also being ornamental or practical. Many herbs, such as rosemary, thyme, and parsley, can all be used as cat grass.

Parsley Carrot leaves

Rosemary Thyme

The above are all cat grasses that cat masters rather like. Grow a few pots of this kind of cat grass at home. It eats its cat grass, you cook your own little treats, and you can even give your master a change of appetite.

However, there is one kind of cat grass that is rather special. Shaoyao has mentioned it before too - it is called catnip.Catnip is a beneficial cat grass, but if eaten too much, a substance will be produced in the cat master's body, instantly lifting meow life into a wondrous world of "endless joy".

It might dance as if carried away

It might also get so high it cannot stop itself

Or it might just flop over and become a useless cat

A meow life that has never enjoyed catnip is incomplete, and if a cat owner has never seen their own cat after eating catnip, that is also a kind of regret~

Growing several kinds of cat grass at home does not mean your master will have no interest in other flowers and plants. So when we grow flowers at home, we also need to pay attention to avoiding those toxic flowers and plants.

Some common fresh-cut flowers,such as corn poppy, hydrangea, iris, narcissus, hyacinth, and lily, are all toxic, and the commonly kept houseplantssago palm and chrysanthemum are also highly toxic to cats.

Since we are a bit greedy and want both to grow flowers and pet cats, we need to be even more careful when growing plants, and pay more attention to the cat master's health.

As a 100-point cat owner, besides preparing several kinds of cat grass at home for your master to choose from, you also need to pay attention to every meal your master eats. It is said that in the cat world there is a chain of contempt: imported food > domestic food > homemade food > leftovers.

Confirmed by taste, this is a meow that eats imported food~

Do not blame the cat at home for still biting flowers. You should reflect on yourself - did you not feed it enough?

Eating enough is only the minimum requirement.If you want meow life to be comfortable, you need to upgrade the cat food~On such a hot day, you eat watermelon and drink cold brew, and the cat master also needs delicious hydration. Usually pay attention to a reasonable dietary structure, so that every meal for your master feels like enjoying a star-rated Michelin-style feast for meows.

As a cat owner with ten years of experience, Shaoyao is participating in Tmall Super Category Day, which will launch the cutest oath-taking campaign in history"Ten thousand cats take the oath, upgrade the cat food"! My cat master Dasao and I have raised our paws and taken the oath together:Upgrade the cat food for the cat master, let cats eat better and live an ideal meow life!

Scan the QR code in the image,

bring your meow and join Shaoyao in taking the oath~

Do not think that just because you hugged other cats outside,

your master at home does not know. It is sensitive and smart,

nothing escapes its eyes. How do you prove you love it?

Raise your paw and take the oath, give it better food!
