Grandpa Was Watering His Flower Bed When He Noticed a New Bloom Up Front.

AI imagesphynx catflower gardenbackyard

Pink, purple, and red blooms crowd the garden bed, and water sprinkles down in a silvery spray from a galvanized watering can. Grandpa Earl crouches behind the flowers, carefully tipping the can over each plant, his beard and plaid shirt lit by the gentle sunshine. Up front, right at the edge of the bed, Peaches has made herself comfortable. The pink Sphynx sits with her front paws on the wooden border, her chin lifted and amber eyes half closed, looking like she's soaking in the sun and the scent of the blossoms. Potted succulents, a pair of gardening gloves, and climbing vines on the wall fill out the cheerful backyard.

Gardens can be wonderful places for cats, but some popular flowers are toxic to them. Lilies are especially dangerous, since even small amounts of pollen or leaves can cause serious kidney problems in cats. Other plants such as azaleas, tulip bulbs, and oleander can also be harmful. Before planting in an area your cat explores, it's worth checking which plants are pet-safe. Fertilizers, slug bait, and insecticides should be chosen with pets in mind and stored securely. And for a Sphynx, outdoor time in the garden calls for shade and short sessions, since their bare skin burns more easily than a furry cat's. If you suspect your cat has chewed a toxic plant, call your vet right away.

Earl tends the flowers, and Peaches tends to look gorgeous among them. Somehow, she's managed to become the prettiest thing in the whole garden.
