Jacque. How old is your ponytail palm? Our cat Paddy has shown great interest in the leaves also. He even followed me through the house when I came home with it this morning, and was very excited! He doesn't get as excited when we have fish for tea!!

Sorry Jacque! I should have said this to Goringfolly, but only joined GOY last week! Anyway when I checked their piccies, I saw the answer to my question. Must clean the old grey matter tomorrow (in my brain)!! When I find the charger for my camera, I will try to post a pic of Paddy with the Ponytail Palm (if he keeps still long enough)!

This plant was started off in 1985 when it was about the size of an acorn!
