Re: RE: holiday decorating

In my first house  which was built on a crawl space, we heard some
scratching coming from below the kitchen.  The cats would just stare at the
corner intently. Finally I opened the crawl and sent Spot in.   15 minutes
later he returned with nothing, but the scratching was never heard again.
They have to be able to get at it.
