Cats and pots

Not happy with the current layout of the flower pots and containers on the terrace at Whittaker Towers we decided to splash out and buy some new ones.
As some of the pots are quite large, I thought it best to prepare them before putting the plants in, in fact I was well in front of myself as we hadn't even decided on the type of plants that should go in them.
So I drilled the holes and loaded the bottom with some crock to help with the drainage and then half filled them with compost.
Fortunately I had recently had another bulk delivery from the local council which I use to fill half the pot before putting a better grade compost in the top half.
Unfortunately, the next morning before I had chance to put the plant in the pot, I was too late, Stig had made himself a nice comfy bed and couldn't be persuaded to move out.

 A couple of days later when we had finally bought the desired plants I had to resort to a bit of bribery with a tasty tit-bit for him to move out, which always seems to do the trick with any animal and I quickly got the new plant in place. Poor Stig was now looking for a new place to camp out, looks like it didn't take him long as he quickly found a shady spot to have a snooze.
