I would never trade my cats for fish. ALthough I'd love to have a big tank
full of fish. They're so nice. My cats don't usually mess around with my
plants. It's just that summer is here and when a fly gets in the house, they
just go wild. A good trick I found was to place a newly purchased plant on
the floor for them to explore and sniff it a bit before putting it in it's
new enviroment. Once they've explored enough, they get bored of it and never
touch it again. They've been here long enough to know not to mess around with
my
plants : )
Thanx for the info. I'm glad it will be OK
