I was considering doing something like that in my house, but it's got to leave such a mess, especially with 2 cats and 2 dogs. Also, is that a money tree? I've got a couple of those, but they're braided differently.
My worry is the cat will dig in it, poop and pee in it, and track the mess everywhere. And that's just the cat in the pic. My dogs might think it's a toy and chew it to shreds.
It is the face of true sadness
