If you plant a cat in a flower pot and give it enough sunshine, eventually it grows into a full-sized feline.

Cats have never been particularly concerned with using things for their intended purpose, and flower pots are no exception. Forget the pet bed sitting five feet away. A round container filled with dirt is clearly the better place to curl up, watch the world go by, and become the prettiest thing growing in the garden.

Seeing a furry head pop up between the flowers certainly makes gardening more interesting. One minute you're checking whether the plants need water, and the next you're wondering when your garden started growing whiskers. This particular variety prefers treats, head scratches, and uninterrupted naps, so putting away the watering can is probably a good idea.

A sunny garden already has everything a feline could ask for. There are warm spots for afternoon naps, leaves to inspect, bugs to watch, and plenty of opportunities to supervise the hoomans doing all the actual gardening. The flower pot just gives them the perfect seat for the occasion.

The real question is how long it takes for a cat to fully bloom. The growing process begins with squeezing into a pot that looks far too small and eventually ends with paws, tails, and floof spilling over every side. Repotting might be necessary, although convincing a comfortable cat to move is another challenge entirely.

Flowers may bring plenty of color to a garden, but it's hard to compete with a pair of ears poking out between the petals. We wouldn't mind discovering this special feline variety growing outside our window every morning.

Forget having a green thumb. Give us a garden full of toe beans and whiskers instead.
