    Luxie Cat and the Tulip

    LAST UPDATED: January 21, 2019 PUBLISHED: April 29, 2016 By Pam Greer 34 Comments As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.

    Calico cat and pink tulip

    Every time I move flowers over by the window and grab my camera, Luxie decides it's time to investigate.  It doesn't matter that these tulips have been sitting on the dining room table for days.  They must be thoroughly checked out again.  Thoroughly.  Before anyone leaves me any comments about tulips being poisonous to cats.  I know they are.  It seems to be the consensus that it is the bulb that is more dangerous and maybe more dangerous to dogs because they would be more inclined to dig them up.  Luxie is pretty good about not chewing on my flowers that I keep on the dining room table, lots of "no" and a few squirts from a water bottle and she has gotten the message.  Of course if it was anything that was crazy poisonous like a lily, I wouldn't even attempt it.

    For my artsy cat photo, I took the last photo through the Topaz Labs Plugin, Simplify 4, using the Painting II preset.

    Cat photo processed using topaz labs.

      I continue to be astounded at the great shots you capture. And we know you would not let your cat chew on the poisonous flowers...or at least I do. 🙂 Gorgeous art filter too.

      Luxie is such a cutie! I think that pink tulip compliments her fur perfectly. 🙂 I'm glad to hear that she's not fond of chewing on flowers.

      That is so precious that she has to check them out and give her approval of their new location.

      You definitely need to get some of these picture framed!

      There is a real sense of the real simple pleasure derived from smell. A lovely composition that is more beautiful even than the sum of the parts. Purrs ERin

      I do love tulips and recall just how much I enjoyed reading Alexandrd Dumas' The Black Tulip. Lexie is rather sweet too.
