Re: Cat and other (feces) in the garden

The gravel company where I got my sand was trying to interest me in some
"Couer d'Alene Compost" supposed to all or part human waste (I wasn't
that interested..) 

Perhaps Fleabane (Conyza sp. would be helpful if you thought fleas were
a problem?

I don't understand this about pads on the feet, they walk right in the
litter box and stuff...

I heard on a cable program last year (Discovery channel?) that
hantavirus appears in other forms, and they thought it was spread by
several specie of mice common in "ghettoes", that a sizable number of
patients in a Chicago hospital on dialysis showed some sign of exposure
to the milder types (antibodies were present?), and that there were
isolated cases of severe or even fatal type in a large number of states.
Maybe they are pulling my leg? 

This has made me think it is very important to find a way to get cats to
not only behave as far as digging and all, but to get them to stop
dragging in mice.
Anyone know some "Old Wive's" ways (or maybe young veterinarian's ways)
of getting THAT to cease and desist? At this moment I am wondering if
when a cat develops that favorite spot to drop the mouse it caught, if I
spray some Anise there? (see previous post about this for cats in the
garden)
