"...nibbled to a nebulous nub..."

!!!

Was Yoko so named because she liked to devour beetles?

Robert,

She's a screecher when she sees a spider on the ceiling and can't get to it, so there may be something to what you say. She likes 'Power to the Kitties'.

Cute! I am glad Yoko didn't nibble any Pachypodium, Adenium, Euphorbia, or Boophane! Hopefully the toxic plants also taste terrible to her.

My dogs Leenah and Dezmond like to pick up discarded plastic pots as chew- and chase-toys, but the damage seems to stop there. (Other than occasional pots overturned while chasing Western Fence Lizards.)

>She's a screecher when she sees a spider on the ceiling

I can sympathize. I don't like spiders either :)

I used to have a cat, long since deceased, who was utterly fascinated by my 7' Areca palm, and who would spend hours batting at its fronds with his paws, especially in summer when I trained a fan on it. Then he got the bright notion in his kitty brain that it would be a good idea to launch himself from the top of the bookcase next to it, into the middle of the plant.

After that, the plant lasted three days. :)
