Defending My Yonic Houseplant

My cousin and his girlfriend came to visit DC last week and they stayed with us. A few days after they left, an absolutely beautiful white orchid arrived as a gift.

Over the last few days my cats have begun to show signs of jealousy. They are obviously quite bothered by the attention the orchid has been receiving. They also seem acutely aware that the orchid must have cost more than their own Washington Humane Society adoption fees.

This is a personal affront to them. I’ve begun to notice that they seem to be plotting against the orchid a la Wile E. Coyote. You can see it in their eyes.

I will defend this plant. I stand resolute, patiently waiting to administer negative reinforcement (spray bottle of water) whenever the cats violate the three-foot radial DMZ surrounding the flower.

We shall prevail.
