Lilys guide to the good life. A Top Tropicals Garden Blog post.

Cat Lily (Lilimon)

🌳 Lily’s guide to the good life

Lily (aka Lilimon) has officially settled into Bfarm life - and she's living it up!

She's claimed a fluffy blanket as her spot, where she purrs away while kneading it like she's making bread.

When she's not in her cozy corner, she's off exploring the indoor jungle, getting into shenanigans with the other #PeopleCats, or joining in on Catnip Parties and rolling around like the happiest cat in the world!

Life is definitely treating Lily well.

🐈📸 Cat Lily has a happy life at Top Tropicals PeopleCats.Garden

Lilys fresh start: from bullied to beloved! A Top Tropicals Garden Blog post.

Cat Lily (Lilimon)

Lily’s fresh start: from bullied to beloved!

Remember Josephine's adorable kittens? You've met her famous son - dashing Philemon, now say hello to his sister, Lily - Lilimon!

Lily spent three happy years at our Ft Myers Garden Center, living the good life... until one day her siblings, brother Loki (aka Charlie Jr) and sister Sushi, decided to form a "no Lily allowed" club and started picking on her. Can you believe it? Sweet, gentle Lily - bullied!

But Lily’s no pushover. She packed her paws, waved her tail goodbye, and set off for our TopTropicals Bfarm in Sebring. And guess what? She's already mingling with the other #PeopleCats and making new friends. Now she’s settling in, and proving that fresh starts can come with purrs and sunshine.

Stay tuned - this story is just getting interesting!

August 8 - International Cat Day: cats taking over? A Top Tropicals Garden Blog post.

August 8 - International Cat Day: cats taking over?
🐈 August 8 - International Cat Day: cats taking over?

Let's be honest - cats kind of rule the world right now. There are nearly 700 million of them, and they're not just lounging on your couch anymore. They've taken over the internet, inspired museum exhibits, popped up in luxury ads, and even have their own global holidays (yes, more than one). They are so much more than just pets - they're pop culture royalty 👑
  • 🐾 There are about 700 million cats in the world. That's one for every ten people... and some of us are definitely over our quota.

  • 🐾 People literally buy movie tickets to watch cat videos. Last summer in New York, a full hour of nothing but cat clips played in theaters - 73 minutes straight of cat clips at the cinema - and people loved it!

  • 🐾 Cats are ad superstars. They show up in everything from luxury fashion to car commercials. They star in memes, viral videos, and major luxury brand and car campaigns. Apparently, if you want people to care, just add a cat.

  • 🐾 Cats have three international holidays. Not one, not two - three! February 20, August 8, and October 29. Meanwhile, world peace only gets one. Priorities.

  • 🐾 A cat exhibit in Poland broke records. A cat-themed show in Krakow's Manggha Museum of Japanese Art and Technology drew the highest visitor numbers in 30 years - 57,186 attendees.

  • 🐾One chubby cat in Athens is a Google Maps tourist attraction. Titan, an orange-and-white street cat near the Acropolis, is so famous he's on Google Maps. Yes, right next to the Parthenon.

  • 🐾Cats have been hanging around humans for over 10,000 years. It started when our trash attracted mice - and the cats came for the buffet.

  • 🐾Ancient Egyptians elevated cats. They didn't just keep them around - they gave them fancy burials, turned them into art, and even made them into gods.

Blackberry Jam Fruit - the sweetest surprise

A tuxedo cat making jam from Blackberry Jam Fruit (Randia formosa) while an orange cat smiles in a chair, sipping tea beside a large flowering Randia plant in a cozy, sunlit room.

Tea and Jam with the PeopleCats – A Tropical Afternoon Beneath the Randia

Meet the cats behind the jam! The tuxedo cat is none other than Google-the-cat - our beloved elder and one of the original cat-fathers of Top Tropicals PeopleCats.garden. At 18 years old, he’s still sharp, curious, and very much in charge. The orange fluffball? He represents the universal image of cat joy - and we’ve got a few real-life orange sunshine residents just like him.

Why do you include cats in a plant newsletter?

Because they’re part of the garden. Our rescued PeopleCats live among the plants, nap under the mango trees, inspect new arrivals, and occasionally steal a sunspot meant for seedlings. They’re not mascots — they’re part of our team. Sharing their presence is like showing a part of the soul of our space.🐈

Are the cat images real or AI-generated?

All our cats are real! We take lots of pictures and videos. And a few images are AI-generated illustrations inspired by our real PeopleCats.garden residents. While not literal photographs, they are creative interpretations that capture the spirit of our tropical home and its furry citizens.🐾

Are the stories about the cats true?

Mostly! The jam-making, tea-drinking, and greenhouse meetings are creative interpretations - but inspired by real personalities. We use AI scenes to bring their spirit to life. Real cats. Real plants. Imagined adventures.🐱
