Re[2]: Cats in the garden

     Well, I hate to continue something off the subject, but I feel 
     compelled to respond.  People often perceive "cat control" discussions 
     as David has:  an attack on cats.  The fact is that, aside from the 
     damage cats (and other animals) do to gardens, cat (and dog) feces 
     contain some things that can have serious health consequences in 
     humans.  Pregnant women are advised not to even clean cat boxes in 
     their houses, but to leave the task to others because of the risks 
     involved.  My dogs do their duty all over *their* patch of flowers, 
     but I would never permit that in the veggie garden, nor should you 
     allow your cats to go in yours.  No harm intended to cats.

Hi all, 
not too long ago, there was a lot of chatter on the problems associated with 
rabbits in the garden.  At the time, I chose to ignore it as my solution 
would not be to everyones taste.  However, with the current attack on cats 
in the garden, I feel that I should now put it forward.  If you don't want 
rabbits, stop worrying about cats!
     
Nowadays, I have two very beautiful Havanas, many beautiful plants and zero 
rabbits.  That is a dramatic change from the days when I had many rabbits 
and very few plants and zero cats.  I know which I prefer.
