What a sweetie :-)))
What 'is' the plant ?
I don't recognise it, are those leaves evergreen ?

Cats are lovely but kittens are especially adorable, aren't they Clarice :)
Hi Louise, this is 'Acalypha reptans', evergreen perennial from India. The flower spikes appear mainly in summer (during winter the flowers get smaller or even disappear). Because it is smaller than the other Cat's Tails it is sometimes called Kitten's Tail. Cute. Minimum temperature: 10~15 degrees (c).

I cannot believe, this little kitten is now a full grown cat, and is now 10 yrs
old, about the same age as the plant too Tm...is this your Conservatory?
If so, looks very nice, looks as if you have quite a few lovely plants there,
like this unusual 1.... : ~ )))

This little kitten is in heaven now, FP :(
It's not my conservatory. Outdoors, in front of the entrance of my parents' house :)
