I would like to know why with an entire pumpkin plant to eat, the SLUGS
chose to concentrate on one small area of stem, and ate right through the
damn thing so the head fell off....

'Cos they like playing hide-and-seek with you afterwards?

We have spent years trying to find out how slugs get into our kitchen
at night and eat the cats food.

They might actually be still in your kitchen during the day, in a nice safe
corner somewhere, although I'm sure they'd prefer the bathroom.

I think they are lurking somewhere in the kitchen too.

There was an interesting article a couple of years ago in New Scientist
about an Australian biologist who kept slugs and snails in his bathroom to
eat the mould and bacteria that grew in the damp spots. His wife wasn't too
impressed.

I have! I have! I think they are lurking in the wood work behind the
sink. I'm not ripping the kitchen units out for something that only
appears, when normally I am asleep.
