   Ours will sometimes start the hurling process from the top level of their cat tower. If we’re home and awake we will rush to move them to the hardwood before the culmination of the process. If we’re not, we don’t usually find out about the incident until we discover the dried remains down the side and on the carpet.

   I bought some fennel for my vegetable garden once and let it go to seed. Every year I let the new plants grow in with the rest of the veggies. It really brings in a variety of insects. I see the swallowtails laying eggs on it, and this year one patch had several caterpillars, at least two of which became chrysalis and turned to butterflies. A first for me!
