5 years ago I stuck three toothpicks into an avocado pit and balanced it on a glass full of water. It sprouted and I then potted it. The cat then started chewing on it and eventually managed to break the main stem.

Like it just wasn't getting enough sun (not surprising since the windows have sun shields on them). So now the avocado tree is sitting right by my front door:
