In a Vase on Monday - April Foolishness

In a Vase on Monday is hosted by Cathy at Rambling in the Garden.  Do click over to her blog to see her arrangement this week and to find link to those of other participating bloggers.

It's April Fools' Day so what better way to celebrate than with a bit of whimsy in the form of a couple of cat  containers made by Cindy Jenkins? 


Tall kitty got a couple of Dianthus, some Primroses, a Tillandsia, and a few branches from the Coral Bark Maple.

Short kitty got some pansies and foliage from Dicentra formosa.

Now, what should we name these little kitties?

    You can't go wrong with any of your props, Peter, and these cat containers are brilliant - you have chosen the perfectly matched blooms to go with them too

    HaHa!
    I looked up the Navajo for cat and got: Gidi and Mosi
    Not bad names for your cats I thought.
    I love your nod to Fools Day.

    For a moment I thought you'd leave the kitty vases empty, for April fools day... Good thing you didn't :-D I like the Navajo names suggested above.

    Hello Peter!
    The cat containers, it's something new to me. I love the blue-eyed cat container with pansies.
    Hugs!

    Careful with those cat vases. I just saw Captain Marvel this past weekend, and you never know, they might be flerkens. Especially considering all the stuff you have stuffed into them.

    Those containers are so cute. Tall kitty has rather a sly look on his face. I'd name him Kiltii Kissa and his sidekick Apuri.

    Great kitty containers, Peter. I'd call them Apurrrryl and Apurrrrol.
