Fences - Cats - DIY?

For me, the small risk that something will happen to them is more than offset by the enjoyment they get by being "free" outside. I've had eight cats during the 16 years that I've had this fenced in yard. Four have died, but none because they were allowed to go out. Four are still enjoying the yard and will do so today when I get home. And your neighbors just love yout cat's poop in their spinach. |

And bird poop, raccoon poop, mouse poop, and dog poop doesn't bother you? Just be sure to wash your spinach, and other raw vegetables in your meal, well. To be completely safe, be sure to serve a young red wine with your meal. Now researchers have found that red wine acts as an antibiotic in the body, killing potentially fatal bacteria. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/ar...better-us.html -- Welcome to the New America. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hA736oK9FPg or E Pluribus Unum Next time vote Green Party |

Still, you should be able to read those important words "fenced in". That means that my cats stay in my yard. Oddly since that post was written, one cat, my favorite, died in the yard. I heard a weird noice, looked up at the window, heard it again, fainter, and I went to check. I found Espy under the deck, dead. Vet said heart attack. At least he got to die in the yard that he loved so much. And no spinach was hurt in the incident. I do grow tomatoes and string beans back there and it's the bird poop I'm concerned with. |

It's always something, isn't it? The up side to bird poop is that it is rich in phosphates, and definitely good for your garden. -- Welcome to the New America. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hA736oK9FPg or E Pluribus Unum Next time vote Green Party |

Hello,
I am a researcher at Landmark Films, a documentary company based in Oxford who make films for BBC, ITV1, Channel 4 and Sky1. We are known for making access-led, intelligent, well crafted, warm and funny documentaries about human stories, different places and institutions. Our latest documentary series was Brain Doctors for BBC2, a three part series on the neurology department at the John Radcliffe Hospital. In the new year we are due to start making a film about cats for the BBC. We would like to look at the UK's opinion on cats. We would like to make a balanced documentary and I wanted to involve bird watchers and lovers to get their opinions. Many people are having problems with the increasing number of feral cats in the UK, cats pooing on their gardens and killing birds in the area. The issue with cats killing birds has been raised by various scientific journals recently. I wanted to speak to anyone who is having a problem with cats in their garden or perhaps runs a business that is being affected. Would anybody willing to have a chat with me about their cat problem? Kind Regards, Jessica Howe Researcher Landmark Films 01865297220/ 07530724477 Quote:
