RE: Piggyback gardening

We now have a stray tomcat that seems to have adopted (and been adopted
by) my 3 children...he is a beautiful orange and white long hair,
incredibly tame and friendly...so much so it makes me wonder how he
comes to be living out of doors...a dump, maybe? No one in town seems to
missing a cat of his description. My husband is adamant that the last
thing our house needs is another cat...so the kids and I are going to
try to find a new home for him. In the meantime, we were watching the
Ten Commandments on TV the other night so the children have temporarily
named the cat "Moses"...as my youngest put it, "We just couldn't call
him Cat when we wanted him to come, Mom...who knows what stray would've
turned up!" Well, duh! They've managed to guilt me into feeding and
watering the thing...sigh!

Subject: [CHAT] Piggyback gardening

Slugger (the new cat) has a tendency to follow me everywhere. On Sunday
I<br>gardened much of the day, going back and forth so he had to keep
up. That<br>night he just zonked out. Tonight I was digging some Lamium
and he decided<br>it would just be easier if he hopped on my back and
watched what I was doing<br>over my shoulder. This is not the easiest
way to garden.<br><br>Meanwhile....I must have the world's dumbest
voles. Yes, they ate up<br>sections of my lawn and set a direct path to
the bed with about 100 clumps<br>of baby hostas. But the paths go around
the hostas. They didn't touch<br>them. All these little hostas are
starting to come up
now.<br><br>Kitty<br><br>---------------------------------------------------------------------<br>Support
