No less than 2 of our cats ate ALL of Addy's beautiful zinnia sprouts. I accidentally left the laundry room door open this evening and went back in later to find the poor flowers gnawed down to the dirt. So I did what any self-respecting mom would do in this situation: I planted the leftover seeds and will now cross my fingers that Addy won't ask about them for another week or so while we wait for them to sprout. And, more importantly, I put the planter up high on a shelf so that, when they finally DO sprout, the cats won't be able to munch on them.
