Its a rather furry plant is'nt it.............................lol

[sara3]

is it related to the pussy willow?

[raysparx1]

Hello madabout, hope you are well, it looks to me like the rare" pussycatwillow" plant used to be found in urban areas and can live for many years if fed with, and this will sound silly but try some cat food, I had one that lived for 17 years on this. good luck,

Ps, they do respond to strokes and the occasional treat, if you are lucky it might even "purr" now and again, enjoy this furry plant , although I do believe they are not as rare as was thought.

snap sara, took me so long to type my answer, one finger typing is hopeless.

ray, what ever you're on, I'd like some too !! rofl

Hi madaboutcats , hee , I seem to recognise that type of furry plant . I think you have to feed and water it , cuddle , stroke , and talk to it to keep it alive and growing xxx

[madboutcats]

Ahh so thats what it is the pussycat willow,.(cupar)... this little shoot loves his tub and responds very well to cuddles and strokes and purrs like an engine.

ray.. short n sweet.. just like me ;o)

oh, does it grow catkins??

[Naomicorlett]

I know a little pussy,
it's coat is soft and grey ,
it lives down in the woods,
not so verry far away.
it will always be a pussy ,
it will never be a cat ,
cos it's apussy willow,
now what do you think of that!!


Cor that was a long way down in my memory!!

My human, Wolf, has two beautiful plants like these. We are loving and kind, we also double as furry alarms and bed warmers.

We have to eat at regular intervals - several times per hour if possible and given many hours of petting per day.

Hello frankiecat, its cupar here, the star of the photo, are'nt we just the bestest bed warmers in the world, though is'nt it a shame when our slaves try to climb in with us and let the cold draughts in, i let margo do the alarm clock bit, i like sleeping too much, though if food is mentioned i will wake up and race margo to the kitchen.

my furry plant looks like a 14 year old version of your sapling... he too purrs like a tractor, is very fond of rolling and sleeps on his side

[Jugglering]

Well I never.... I have to live with one of those and so annoying they are ! It resembles your katkin an awful lot and I simply hate it with a fury although I must admit I do not know why I hate it so much.... probably because it can run faster than me and is quite a few years younger than me..... It also emits strange noises at time.... which go like this .... mioaw.......

From the growler... aka BigThug... (PS I have much nicer colourings than your plant... I am tabby and white with a hint of ginger thrown in)
