Thank you! She's become my little gardening buddy this summer. Love the look of tortoiseshells too!

As for my plant thank you for your help! Definitely want to avoid any onset of rot if I can!

In addition to an excellent comment from our Canadian friend, you and your plant will be better served to allow it to grow taller and behead it next year in the spring. This will give you a nice head and the potential for a number of offsets from the remaining stem.

Katlynn, just for extra clarity...Bikerdoc is saying to behead the PLANT, not the Kitty!

Hahahaha thanks for the clarification Neil!

Bikerdoc, thank you for the advice! I'll read up on the whole beheading process more leading up to next spring. For now, do you have any recommendations on ensuring that the head roots afterwards?

You can read and see how to BEHEAD SUCCULENTS in these couple of threads (link to 2nd at the end of 1st)

Roma says it all.

Howard, I think you meant Rina. Roma doesn't bless us here with her presence any more, but Rina more than does so.

I was referencing you because you had the first comment. Then my feeble fingers need a remedial typing class. Roma=Rina.
