    I think I must have been an Egyptian in a previous life, I absolutely adore cats, this last one is my 14th. (Not all at once) I have only ever had 8 at one time.

    to protect my seedlings, I put chicken wire or sticks/canes over the soil. Once the plants have grown they don't dig there, just don't have any bare soil, cover it with plants, which is a good reason to get going with gardening.

    I love them too Lyn. Luckily for me my neighbours are hopeless gardners and rarely mow so 10,000 cats could use their gardens as a toilet and they wouldn't notice image

    I am all for dogs but I took on two cats who had been rescued by a girl who takes in ferral cats and has them neutered and rehomes them. They stayed semi wild but came when I called them for food. It was a very good, if long distance, relationship. They had fields to hunt in a somewhere warm and safe to come to and they kept my outbuildings free of mice for years.

    I have now been adopted by another we buddy who demands food with menaces, stares down my dogs and interferes wholeheartedly and enthusiastically when I'm gardening. No idea where she came from or where she goes. I'm going to plant her some catmint in the hope that she'll deter other cats. Here's hoping.

    The thing I dislike about cats is because they scare off the birds...  I do wish something would scare off the damn squirrels though... Cos they dig up and scoff my bulbs, onion sets and garlic etc...My buddy in Texas shoots them and eats them Eew!!image

    Friends of ours in Wales eato them, the butcher sells them, you do need one each though.

    hedgehogs, baked in clay, lovely!!! Not that I could bring myself but I know those that do, or did, years ago.
