The everlasting cactus

My Christmas cactus (if it's not an Easter one) flowered gorgeously at Christmas last year. Then it gave me a bonus by flowering again at Easter (so maybe it's not a Christmas cactus). Now it's flowering again, or still, at Pentecost: dramatic crimson ballerina-type flowers all over, with new buds coming all the time. Perhaps it's just a Christian cactus? (I wonder if it will flower for the fourth great Christian festival of the year, Greenbelt?).

Which reminds me I have another flowering plant that needs repotting, since the cat knocked it over yet again the other day.... Speaking of the cat, he just came in very wet and bedraggled (and he has a LOT of fur). Seems sufficient punishment for murdering my plants.
