Grandma Edie Was Watering Her Window Flowers. Pebble Had a Front-Row Seat.

A long planter box runs beneath the sunny window, packed with pink petunias, purple pansies, and trailing greens. Grandma Edie leans over it in her sage cardigan, tipping a galvanized watering can so a gentle stream splashes onto the soil. She is smiling down, not at the flowers, but at Pebble, who sits on the wooden floor beside the planter with his chin raised, eyes fixed on the water. A basket, a coffee mug, and a pair of slippers are scattered around this sunny little garden room.

Indoor plants and cats can share a home happily, but it helps to choose plants carefully. Cats love to nibble greenery, and some common houseplants and flowers can upset their stomachs or worse. Lilies are the most serious concern, while plants like pothos, philodendron, and dieffenbachia can irritate the mouth. Petunias and pansies are generally considered safe for cats, which makes them a friendly choice for a planter at nose height. Another good idea is to grow a pot of cat grass nearby, so a cat has something it is allowed to chew. When in doubt about a plant, check a trusted pet-safe plant list.

Pebble seems more interested in the sparkle of the water than in eating any petals, and that suits everyone. Grandma Edie tends her flowers, Pebble supervises, and the little window garden keeps blooming, one careful watering at a time.
