I had some nice one but my cat ate them. I suppose they feel really good to chew

I have one of the living stones t the bottom right in flower pot. Sadly it grows really weird and doesn’t look so cool anymore then…

It’s badly etoliated (stretching to get more sun) and appears to be in a soil with too much organic matter.
The poor dear needs heaps more sun, and soil that doesn’t retain much, if any water.

Haha thank you! It seems to be a very resistant plant. I guess it could be a good idea to put it into a more sandy soil. Regarding the sun - it doesn’t really strech towards the window, it just seems to have no real grip in the soil and just “lays down”.

The problem with some succulents is they will appear alive, but actually already have one foot in the grave. It laying down without any grip into the soil might mean the taproot is gone.
When you repot it, take your time, and check that it’s tap root is intact. It’s ok to let it sit out in the open for a day or two - any damage should scab over.
If there is a taproot - you’re good to go, but if there is little to no root, chances are slim it will survive. There are methods to encourage a new taproot, but that is (currently) above my knowledge level. (AKA I’ve never been able to get them to grow a new taproot.)
