sentient carnivorous plants live in houses, but is it presumptuous of us to assume they would take to four-legged chairs as we do? would it be racist to assign them a choice of tree stumps? what considerations would go into their choices?

i would like to take this opportunity and address the efforts of @estherflowers1 who recently published a series of topics similar to these. similar, perhaps but far better, both in variety, meaning , ending even with a fantastic quote at the end from the musical cannibals! (which was unknown under the rock over here). this challenge comes in a way, to apologize deeply and to provide a stage to throughly grovel, at said author's acheivments. i, and my challenge, are but an unengorged snood in comparison to such exalted magnitudenous excellence.
