oh, I don't mind having a frog in the garden - I would hate for the cat

to
hurt it though. also, daft as I am I worry that the poor little frog
doesn't have a large supply of water in my garden.

Could you make a shallow pond for the toads and frogs? They really do

need
help!


not really, my cat is amazed by them. before now he has brought them into
the house. he carries them in ever so carefully (or so it seems) and
watches them hop around.

however careful he is it must place a hell of alot of stress on the poor
buggers, obviously. hence the question about taking the frog back to his
pond. we had some heavy rain today, we always get frogs after heavy rain.

I love my cats (boo hiss I hear from quarters of the gardening group) but
I
don't want them to harm other animals.


Not from this quarter, I love cats too, when I was small and used to wear a
pinny, as all small boys did at the time, when the cat had had a litter I
used to collect them and carry them about in the pinny, when the cat thought
they needed feeding she used to come looking for me, then when she had
finiished feeding them, back into the pinny they went!
