There are those who believe that life here, began out there, far across the
universe, with tribes of humans, who may have been the forefathers of the
Egyptians, or the Toltechs, or the Mayans. Some believe that they may yet be
brothers of man, who even now fight to survive, somewhere beyond the
heavens.

Hi,

I have just planted out some sweet corn seeds in a newly cultivated
patch of dirt and after watching one of my five cats closely have been
trying to work out how to keep her [them] from using the area as a
toilet - at least until the seedlings are big enough to handle
trespassers.

I thought about a lattice fence - decided they would jump over that.
Then thought of a chicken wire fence, but thought that would need a
'roof.' Thought of keeping the sprinkler nearby, to either keep the
soil damp or to turn on when one approached the area but then I would
have to watch it 24 hours a day.

Any other suggestions?
