The evergreen groundcover Stachys byzantina (lamb's ear, bear's ear, bunnies' ears, mouse ear, rabbit ear, woolly woundwort, cat's ear, lamb's tongue, lamb's wool) is ideal for a free draining dry garden. The foliage can look rather sad by the end of winter but all that is needed is to remove any old flower stalks and the foliage will recover with warmer conditions.

Random Cats Round 2

descriptions and minor spoilers below the cut

Spiresight (Guardian Cats): Spire was a healer of the Guardian Cats and appeared in Tigerheart's Shadow and then as a ghost/in the afterlife in The Broken Code. Spire was renamed Spiresight just before his death in Tigerheart's Shadow. He is described as a "small, ragged, skinny black tom with yellow eyes". He was possessed by Ashfur in The Broken Code and forced to fight for him until after Ashfur was double-killed. Spiresight is now in StarClan.

Mouse Ear (Ancient ShC): Mouse Ear was a rogue in the Forest alongside Holly and Mud Paws and appears in Dawn of the Clans. Moved by the bravery of the Moor Cats, they joins Tall Shadow's group on the moor. Mouse Ear would stay with Tall Shadow and be a founding member of ShadowClan. He is described as a "big, broad shouldered, brown tabby tom with ears the size of the mouse, and one part of one ear missing. He has amber eyes."

Pebblefoot (RC): Pebblefoot was a warrior of RiverClan who appears in The New Prophecy, Power of Three, Omen of the Stars, and any Super Editions that take place during that time frame. He is the brother of Minnowtail and Tumblekit, however, he is for some reason made an elder despite only being 4 years old at his death. He is very likely yet another example of the writers forgetting how old different characters are. He drowned in the Great Storm. All of his on page appearances suggest that he was an aggressive, proud warrior.

Shadowsight (ShC): Shadowsight is a medicine cat of ShadowClan who first appears in Tigerheart's Shadow and has been in each book since. He was a major protagonist of The Broken Code arc. Influenced and manipulated by Ashfur, Shadowsight played a major role in the latter half of The Broken Code arc and suffered significantly at Ashfur's paws, nearly dying at least once. Shadowsight is nervous and struggles with self-esteem.

Pearnose (TC): Pearnose was a medicine cat of ThunderClan under Morningstar and appears in Battles of the Clans, Goosefeather's Curse, and Pinestar's Choice. She is described as a "dark brown tabby molly". She gives Pinestar a life and guides Goosefeather to becoming a medicine cat when he is young.

Applefur (ShC): Applefur is a ShadowClan warrior who appears only in Tigerclaw's Fury. She is described as a "mottled brown she-cat with pale green eyes". She questions Tigerclaw and is very concerned about her clan's lack of a leader after Nightstar's death. (There is an error in her drawing-- she was never a rogue. I got confused and thought she was one of Tigerclaw's rogues)

Mice thrive at 6700 m, higher than any mammals were thought able to live

Survey turns up several mouse species living on Andes peaks, breaking records for the highest dwelling mammals

Few places are as inhospitable as the top of Llullaillaco, a 6700-meter volcano on the border between Chile and Argentina. Winds howl nonstop and no plants live there; daytime temperatures never get above freezing and plummet even more come nightfall. Oxygen levels are just 40% of those at sea level, too low for mammals to live there —or so biologists thought until 3 years ago when a research team captured a live leaf-eared mouse at its summit. Now new work shows this animal was not a fluke. The team has found other leaf-eared mice on additional volcano tops, and genomic studies of these summit dwellers and their lower elevation relatives confirm the rodents make their homes nearly 7000 meters above sea level, making them the highest dwelling vertebrate found so far. (Some birds soar higher but appear not to dwell at those elevations.) The team has also come across five other mouse species living above 5000 meters on various mountains in the Central Andes...
