Olivia Wigglebothum has two obsessions: mousie and houseplants.
She is the reason my giant aloe plant lives outside during the summer and then in my classroom during the school year. After two days of vomiting following the aloe plant episode, I eliminated all toxic houseplants and now check the ASPCA plant list before even considering a new houseplant.
Olivia clings to me and cries piteously any time I scoop her up near the back doors where the plants hang. I wish I could say that this is out of a deep love for her mum’s cuddles, but I have enough claw marks in my shoulders to know better.
I’m just a handy ladder to her end goal. Olivia Wigglebothum life goals: sample all the houseplants.
I keep no houseplants near the cats… I really don’t trust them, even if the plants are supposedly non-toxic. I can just picture the cats eating them all day and playing in the dirt and tipping the plants over, etc.

Mine are in hanging pots which is why my height is so convenient to her. I have one violet in an antique pot but they already tipped that off the shelf.
