(23,586 posts)105. One year we were given poinsettia by my employer, and the cat ate the whole thing down to the dirt
It did not phase her one single bit.
She was rather ornery so I guess the plant did not dare make her sick.
That cat would sit on the foot of the bed and stare at the dog, who was in the hallway and wanted to come in the room He would not cross the threshold as long as she sat there and glared at him. He would just sit there and whimper.

No. No Swedish either. Lakewood Estonian House looks wonderful. I would have immersed myself in it
