when the cat's away ...


... or, indeed, when the cats haven't traveled with me - I can have flowers!  Tulips in the dining room; some irises in my study - things that are toxic to felines, so we never have indoors when they are around (LucyFur, in particular, has a tendency to chew anything resembling vegetation - which is terrifying, and therefore means that we have to vet every plant or flower that comes into the house to make sure that it's not lethally poisonous).

The sentiment could be understood in other ways, as well: I am enjoying eating/drinking things that Alice doesn't/can't ingest: halibut, cilantro, sauvignon blanc ... I'd forgotten how much I like halibut ...
