Off the wall question?
"Diana Kulaga" wrote in message arthlink.net... I dare not put any plant of value down there since my sister has a cat, which is a terror to plants and flies, killing every plant put where she can reach it. With that critter, a plant in bloom would not live long enough for fruit on the table to blast the flowers. Thanks to it, I have developed an intense dislike for cats. They're just as bad as tree rats. Oh, Ted, not all of them! Casper nuzzles the canes of a huge Dend, but would never tear it up. Last winter we had slews of plants in the house, all within his reach, and he treated it like a jungle game, but never hurt so much as a leaf. Depends on the kitty......... Hi Diana I guess either you got lucky, or my sisters are unlucky. All three of them have cats, and all three of their cats are plant killers. -( But none of my sisters want me to introduce their cats to my oldest sister's dog. A siberian husky, he will eat any vertebrate, other than human beings of course, that has the gall to enter his domain. I couldn't begin to number the rodents, birds, snakes and feral cats on which he has dined. But then, they live in a very lightly developed area, with swamp across the road to the south and boreal forest (on crown land) to the north beginning near their property line. They get to see all kinds of wildlife most people get to see only on National Geographic of the Discovery Channel. Just last summer, on one occassion I was there, I saw a falcon try to take a song bird, and the little bird, although injured, managed to escape. But, with all the wildlife there, they'd be overrun by vertebrate pests if not for the feral cats that have learned to avoid colt and for colt. They have a really nice garden because, in part, the feral cats have decimated the rodent population around the house. Cheers, Ted |
