The cat person's plant list

• 30 honestly-scored plant cards
• Grouped by the five light situations of real homes (dark corner to sunny sill)
• Cat psychology
• The fridge emergency page
• The swap table
• Know your enemy
• The starter shelf
• Two write-in pages

I'm not a botanist, and I don't have 150 plants — I keep a windowsill's worth, and I've killed a few learning how (a Calathea in eleven days is how this whole thing started). When something goes wrong I go down the rabbit hole: the studies, the extension-horticulture pages, the 2am forum threads, and every horror story plant people send in on @leafjournal on TikTok. These guides are that mix — hands-on experience checked against the research, cleaned up and told straight. No lab, no sponsorships, no “trust me.” Just what actually keeps a plant alive, so yours isn't the one that learns it the hard way.
