How to cat proof planters....and various ramblings

So what does this and
this have in common?
This!
So what is my solution?
This...
huh?
Did that help any?
Every year I find these cute pots (all ceramic) and I put them around my house in my vain attempt at "pretty".
Every year I find them through out the summer in various pieces.  I've even kept the pieces in a delusional thought "I will use them for a mosaic."  I seriously need help.
But not this year!!!! It will be different!!  I have figured out metal doesn't break easily.
Thanks to the Restore and a couple of thrown out file cabinets, my planters will survive!
TAAAA-DAAAA!!!!!
It's even being warm and friendly.  Plus they are screwed into the wood and are going nowhere. HA!

Now the picture below is not.  It is stuck in a time warp, but I found it at Goodwill for 99 cents.
Can't loose there......I think.
"Editaaaaath get me a beer" is echoing through my mind.
(for you young people, that was a reference from a 70's show  called "All in the Family")
So tune in next week for the conclusion to this week's episode.
