You don't get this sort of problem with a cat.........

Oh yes? Come and have a look at what the neighbours'
cats
have done to the stem of my .Metasequoia
glyptostroboides.

Are you quite sure? The trunk of mg is naturally deeply
fissured,
rough and fibrous, looking very much as if something has
been
sharpening claws there.

Yes. I have taken pot shots at the cat with my catapult
several times, catching it in the act on each occasion, but
missing it each time. Let's face it, the damn cat knows I
am NBG with my catapult.
