My plants were growing so beautifully!
They became giants!
This is the last photo I took with them before... before the fateful day of their untimely demise.
This photo was taken a few weeks before someone-- a feline-- out of jealousy or boredom or God knows what, decided to commit a DOUBLE PLANTICIDE!
The poor things didn't even know what was coming. I kept them on the windowsill of my bedroom, protected by a large cardboard map of the United States.
One day, I came home and something, I presume a kitten, had knocked Nancy and Victor over. There was dirt everywhere! At the time, I did not own a vacuum cleaner, so I borrowed one belonging to my classmate and downstairs neighbor.
My friend, a sort of horticultural mastermind (whose chive plant has survived two hellacious winters and a lifetime of neglect) brought me some potting soil and a larger pot.
The spacious planter was appropriate, because the two sprouts were quickly transmogrifying into chlorophyll beasts.
They managed to make it another month at least.
They grew. They were beautiful.
Then... certain kittens got frisky.
The culprits: (I can't figure out how to upload photos from my phone to my computer... so there's only old pictures)
LOKI (brunette) and SPARTACUS (blond)!
The pot kept mysteriously being slightly knocked over when I got returned home from work.
This went on for a few days.
Then someone ate on of Nancy's arms.
Then, SOMEONE ate ALL of Nancy and broke Viktor in half, dragging his corpse into the kitchen!
In conclusion, they dead.
