... things like
squirrels in the night, or cats.


I've resorted to tying down pots on their stands if it's something I don't
want smashed.... Just run some twine or wire under the stand, over the pot,
and back under the stand. You have to do it on both ends of the pot
(whichever shape) for best results. Only works if you don't use the "lift
the pot" method of watering though . Since we got rid of the cat and my
doggie *loves* squirrels I haven't had any knocked over in a while... Had a
juniper jump of the end of a table and smash all over the ground-I put it
into a new pot (same size) and now I don't even remember which one it is
Another option if you're desperate would be do put some crinkly stuff
(tinfoil? plastic wrap? tape sticky side up?) around the pots-cats hate
stepping on crinkly stuff!
