Sesame.

The fried sesame is a big success, even bigger than I could suspect. I left a saucer with fresh portion of the sesame on the table overnight and this morning I found out that my cats appreciated it as well! Especially Fili, yesterday he was sniffing me very curiously while I was eating porridge with sesame. I don’t know how much they eat or whether they eat it at all but they definitely nosed it closely. The seeds were all over the table. I’m not sure what effect sesame had on them, though my sister said they had a wrestling match on her back around 4 a.m.

(I recalled an episode from one of Gerald Durrell’s books, how they added some seeds to their animals’ ration. But that was aniseed, not sesame.)

All my family and close friends know that I’m a person that doesn’t look for easy ways. Today’s quest proved this rule.
I have two cats, and a bough-pot with lovely Haworthia named Yuki-kun. These representatives of animal and floral life don’t mix well: the cats constantly try to eat Yuki-kun or dig him out of his pot. I have to put Yuki-kun on one of my bookcases, but there he doesn’t receive enough sunlight. Yuki-kun, being a succulent, is quite tough, but still, two curious cats and lack of sunlight takes its toll on him.
So I decided to fence some place on one of window sills, so the cats won’t be able to reach Yuki-kun. This fence must be quite aesthetically pleasing (my sister’s requirement). And somehow I came upon idea that if I could put the pot with Yuki-kun into small cylindrical bird cage that would be ideal solution! And today I went to the quest. Seven of zoo shops in the city centre. Or maybe more, I didn’t count (my poor feet). All of them had only large cages, though I have to say that shop assistants was making quite funny faces when I was telling them why I need small cylindrical bird cage.
Alas, no aesthetically pleasing fence for Yuki-kun. :( I feel I’ll have to construct the fence from plastic wire mesh that used in gardens.
