kitties don't need cleaning up after, just kick them outside and then they bring you home presents in the form of dead rodents. nothing could be sweeter.

I just read in an orchid book that kitties make wonderful orchid fertilizer. This could be a solution for you Mike.

Not really... make up a potting mixture of sphagnum moss, potting soil, a kitten and some vermiculite and plant your ochid. Be sure not to use too small of a pot or the orchid will get potbound.

After that it's just a weekly water and a new kitten after every bloom (usually about once per year).

In truth you don't need a *whole* kitten for a small orchid. I've sometimes used amputations to keep the rest fresh for later.
