Congratulations!! When are you going to patent this idea and
begin selling the whiskers?? 8*) But seriously, which Genlisea did you
use? Any of my native Brazilian species? To all of you still growing CPs
(unlike me), I believe if it worked for Genlisea, it should also be
useful for Utrics and Pings.

>The only problem is convincing your cat to give you one.

Yeah, I can easily imagine you and Ricky doing this! Who held the
cat and who pulled the whiskers?
