Cats Vs Plants: The Eternal Struggle

Something all cat owners can relate to... a universal truth: cats and their plants that never stood a chance. It's a hard lesson that some never seem to give up on. With each plant you buy and bring into your home, you're filled with peace and happiness. This plant will brighten up the room, it will add scenery to your garden, it can even provide you with food and your favorite tea ingredients. Too bad the chances of it surviving are so darn low. Why? Because cats will always find a way to either destroy your new plant baby, munch away on the juicy leaves, or just decide to live in the pot where it slowly, but surely, dies.

It's an eternal struggle, this endless game we play. This is why cat owners can't have nice things:
