The Patriarch of my family was always very diligent in feeding and caring for the Cowplant. Sometimes, he even volunteered himself as food. Happily, he was usually spat back out again. I finally got fed up (no pun intended) having to keep a constant eye on things. Eventually, the evil thing died. When I went to set up a new save, I wanted to use the same built. When I realized it was one with the Cowplant, I quickly exchanged it for an earlier rendition of the lot. Phew! I have no desire to have another of those Beasties. LOL
