I really do believe that cats can hypnotize people...our Missy is a people cat and seems to be an expert! And try and stop her if she wants up on my shoulder! I indulge her for a little while, then my shoulder needs a rest! I've gathered some seeds from habit, but I'm not planning to plant any seeds until the drought ends. Except the white Amsonias...I really, really want them! Evidently, they can survive the drought...saw the plants along the road in about the same soil (or lack of soil) that we have.
