i was gonna start a separate thread, but at least this will get the topic off growing pot lol

sooooo... if i get a bonsai tree, will my cats eat it most likely? or leave it alone...

Depends on your cats.

Do they like eating leafies?

Be careful with plants and cats. Certain plants will kill your cat, or make it sick: http://www.aspca.org/Pet-care/poison-co ... -cats.aspx

If you provide your cats with options, though, they'll choose catnip every time. I grow 4-5 catnip plants, and usually have one inside. That way, when the kitties climb into the plant and destroy it, I can swap it out for a different one.

BTW, cats don't eat plants for fun, it serves a purpose. The plant material pushes fur through their digestive system, either out the back end or the front end. If you have a cat and don't give it either catnip or allow it to munch grass, your kitty is not as healthy as it could be, or should be.

Carry on.

Bonsai trees are fun. I have a bonsai forest that is about three years old now. But bonsai trees are mostly an outdoor toy, as most trees need to be dormant in winter.

If you have any railings, or metal stairways I recommend some kind of ivy. I have a metal grate set of stairs going up to my roof deck, and they have ivy growing all through them. Looks awesome.

I definitely spent a good five minutes trying to figure out what you were getting at.
