Waaa my Masdie bud is toast

[silken]

Waaaa my Highland Fling masdie bud is toast (cat bit it off) for the 3rd time in a row. It's like I am not meant to get a masdie to bloom. The first two buds grew nicely but always seemed to get trapped in their little membrane type sheath even after getting about 4 inches tall. So they turned yellow and died. This 3rd time all was wonderful and the bud was out and free very early on. The spike was about 4 or more inches tall and a nicely formed bud, all bright green.

But yesterday I moved my little plastic greenhouse and all my milts and my 2 masdevallias into the house as we are going to the lake for 3 weeks. We will be home several times to water orchids and cut grass but out in the greenhouse, the milts and masdies need watering more than that. So I soaked them all well and set them in their little humidity retaining house in the living room where it will be cooler.

Twice I noticed my cat Stanley's big bad head in there amongst the plants and got after him to get out. But this morning 2 inches of spike are laying in the pot cleanly nipped off. I could just cry or choke him
