Yes, this is true.

However, we grow in containers in our hoophouse (and only for our own use)
and I have NEVER EVER seen the cat in a container. She is a non-jumping,
non-climbing cat. (Which is pretty unusual. We think she was born with
something wrong with one of her back legs, and this may account for it.)
