Pass the Peas

This cute cat is named Maceo (may-see-oh) and his owner posted about this garden "helper" recently on Cute Overload.

Note the plant label on the bottom photo is "Catnip." Not all cats have a reaction to it, but Maceo obviously does!

BTW If you don't get the headline connection, Maceo Parker is a famous jazz and funk musician. One of his best known songs is "Pass the Peas." Watch this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YJmIN8RNBUg and don't hesitate to see Maceo Parker live if you ever get the chance!

Guacomole Dip

The cat in the picture is named Simba. He is HostasDirect owner, Tom Carlson's cat.  
Hosta Direct shares, "He is really a very funny boy. 
He likes to sit next to Tom all day and soak up as much attention as possible!"

Meowing the Grass

This cat is Mary and she is enjoying Kitty Queen's Four Grass mix from Renee's Garden Organic Seeds. She lives with Lindsay, the Renee's Garden trial garden manager and sister of Fang. 

Growing your own kitty grass from seed is easy and fairly quick. Indoor cats love this tasty treat. Do you grow grass for your favorite kitty?

Is there anything sweeter than a kitten in the grass?

Hunter Green

Rhonda Hayes of Minneapolis, MN, submitted this picture of a cat she has dubbed "The Hunter."

Rhonda says, "I spend a few months each winter in Savannah, GA, where this cat lives in the courtyard behind my rental cottage. I watched her hunt for little green lizards among the plants every morning. Her mesmerizing green eyes match the lizards and the greenery."
