Diamond
DOB: July, 1996
About: Diamond is a green-eyed, gray tabby and is the daughter of Mystic, our first addition to the Plant Delights Nursery, Inc. family back in 1996. Mystic was killed (road rage) in 1998, yet his memory is still with us via Verbena 'Mystic' and Mystic Waterfall from Mt. Michelle. Diamond is a loner and has a love-hate relationship with the nursery/garden staff. When the staff is here she hates them, and when they leave she misses the attention. Diamond appears to be manic-depressive and would probably benefit from good drugs. Currently she lives alone, spends lots of time sleeping and doesn't play well with other cats...sort of like a kitty unibomber.
Likes: Interacting with the staff members, climbing up greenhouse plastic and grapevines.
Dislikes: Interacting with the staff members and life in general.

Pearl, (twin sister of Ruby)
DOB: July, 1998
About: Pearl came to us with her twin sister in November of 1998. Most staff and visitors cannot tell them apart...except that Pearl's white socks are a little longer than Ruby's and because of her lack of physical activity, she has a little weight issue. Pearl has a very sweet and loving nature like Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. If you stop petting Pearl, expect a sharp bite as a reminder to continue. Pearl saw too many Garfield flicks as a kitten, and given the chance, Pearl will jump into open car windows in the parking lot. She may be the first cat on the planet who is allergic to tuna.
Likes: Doing nothing.
Dislikes: Doing anything.

Zirconia
DOB: April 2000
About: Zirconia is our only male, a regal, silver-grey short-haired ball of energy. He rarely sleeps late, and will bug the daylights out of us to let him out in the morning. He enjoys meeting visitors and will climb up on anyone who leans down to pet him, usually wrapping his long body around their shoulders. Zirc, as we nicknamed him, loves attacking other defenseless creatures...we're thinking of renaming him after another well-known terrorist Abu Musab al-Zarqawi.
Likes: Attacking Pearl and Ruby, mostly Ruby
Dislikes: Not getting his way (takes after Tony)

Ruby (twin sister of Pearl)
DOB: July,1998
About: Ruby is slightly smaller than Pearl, and she has a spot on her back left paw. Her socks are a little shorter than Pearl's, but other than that they are identical twins. Ruby loves to roam far and wide and occasionally joins the nursery staff at the potting bench, sleeping on the stacks of boxes.
Likes: To sleep late and groom Pearl.s face, canned cat food.
Dislikes: Zircon.
