Well, about my cat, she has always been able to go outside and enjoy the outdoors just like everyone else, and I would not take away her freedom, she has as much right as we and the birds and all the other creatures to enjoy her freedom, and I won't lock her up.

About the Nandinas I have had them for over 30 years, and like yours mine did not spread, but I feel that I should not have invasive plants in my yard, so I am slowly eliminating them.
I am certified since 1998, by the Texas Parks and wildlife urban program as a Native Plant Habitat. This is not as stringent as The best of Texas program, so yes you can be certified and have Nandinas too, you just can't be Best of Texas, but that's o.k. with me, I will continue loving, growing and propagating native Texas plants, and be very happy with my cat Angel who loves her freedom to come and go as she pleases.

I don't think I convinced you to take out your Nandinas, but at least you know where I am coming from, and I hope it helps. Here is Angel being her precious self.
