With all of Miss M's quirks, one things we've noticed about her is that like any proper lady, she really enjoys flowers.
I used to think she took pride in them because we have a weekend tradition of going together to the Farmer's Market. She would pick the flowers, and make sure they were arranged to her liking when we came home:
We saw these colorful cacti at Home Depot, which we thought looked quite flower-like, and we thought Miss M would enjoy gazing at them.
Though it seems she was actually more surprised than anything:

And they do live right there.

I love looking at pictures of Miss M enjoying flowers! When my dog was a puppy, he ATE A CACTUS! Haha. But hopefully you won't have that problem and that is a very pretty cactus (and a pretty pup). :)
Very nice Miss M BOL

Don't put too much water in them! Just a little bit like once every week or two. Lots of indirect sunlight (if I'm not mistaken)!

Google "caring for cacti and succulents", since you have both in that pot. Lots of info comes up, including video. Good luck!
Miss M, you my dear have excellent taste in flowers. I don't have a green thumb but since we've moved I've decided that I wanted to try some potted plants in a window that has what I feel is the perfect light. So yesterday I picked up some plants at the garden center, potted them up and am anxiously waiting to see if they survive.
I guess that's a long explanation for, I have no idea how to care for cacti other than don't water them too much!

I love the cacti! So pretty - I think as long as you don't water them too much and they get some sunlight they will be good :-) I love Jade plants - they are nearly impossible to kill and they just grow and grow!
I love that arrangement. I've had single pots of the pink kind before but it didn't look as nice!
Cacti thrive on being largely ignored...a little water periodically and you're good. However, when they start to grow a bit, you'll need to break up the pretty arrangement and repot them (which is no fun...)
Growing up, we had a house full of giant cacti...when my parents first got married, they bought a similar arrangement of cacti, repotted them, and over the years they grew into a cacti forrest...we had a whole collection of odd looking 4-5ft tall cacti that all started out as one of those dish garden cacti arrangements...so beware :)
