Hi folks, meet the new cactus. The old one, Tommy (named for his feline
tormentor), couldn't cope with the move to London and was buried in the bin yesterday. I happened to pass a florists', so I got this one to replace him. This cactus isn't a flowering variety, but it's still pretty and I thought it would be less prone to being damaged.
Note the many long and short defensive spikes. Note the red "keep out!" colour. We all know where this is going, don't we? Five (5) minutes after I put the new cactus on the windowsill, I caught Whisky chewing on it.
*sigh*
