Re: Re: claws

I try to explain that to people who worry about cats getting in their
gardens.  They like comfort and generally don't lay on anything that's
evident.  Shimmy spends all his time under ferns, hostas and peonies - I
think he thinks it's a jungle.  Of course you'll also find him perched atop
my car roof - he likes the soft top - so he can survey the area.  If
something is tiny, I put a little fence around it or lay fencing down so
they won't paw the area, until the plant is sizable enough for them to
realize it's there - and then they don't bother it.  And Theresa mentioned
rose-prunings - smart idea.  I don't have many roses but I use those too.
