I liked the jurisdiction comment too. My cat has that effect on everything
in the whole yard. A funny thing though - my cat has never bothered the
goldfish in my backyard pond. She does like their food, so I have seen her
lapping the food off the surface of the water as the fish come up from
underneath to nibble. The are obviously not afraid of the cat! I wonder if
the cat's tongue ever touched a fish tongue!!! Anyway, not wanting to get
wet, the cat treats this as pure, simple amusement to watch the fish and to
see how much of their food she can eat.

Ok guys and gals, my wife wants me to put a pond in my front yard but my
bassets can't keep the cats away in the front yard becasue there is no
fence to
keep the hounds in! what the best way short of shooting all the
neighborhood
