Well, I guess I need to start drawing up "ark" plans. We folks here in Ohio have certainly seen our fair share..and I see that next week its another wet one ! On the plus side, my garage sale went well and when I was all done I gave all that was left away to one person :) I am so anxious to start my landscape project if it would ever dry up, but I guess God has His own plans, so who am I to question. Maybe this is my que to clean the house :) I had some topsoil brought in and I noticed a pair of little foot prints going across it..funny because its like mud right now..oh did I mention they were little kid foot prints...otherwise meaning that some lucky parent got to scrub shoes when they got home..guess they could not resist ! Oh..while I am thinking about it, do any of you have any hints for keeping cats out of porch plants ? You see my youngest tends to feed every animal that comes into the yard and now we have 4 cats. Three of them are bobtails, all orange, all identically marked. Strange,huh ? The other is gray with an ear missing. One of the orange ones is going to have kittens any day...so that means MORE cats. I'm not sure if someone is droping them off here of if the word is out in cat world...anyways, I want to put my houseplants out on the porch as soon as I am sure its warm enough...BUT...last year cats kept getting into them..any suggestions ?...well , enough for now..have a blessed evening and wonderful tomorrow !

I keep my cats out of the house plants simply by placing aluminum foil around the inside of the pot around the base of the plants. Works great and you can still water. |

I think you can put some large pebble rocks in the pot around the base of the plant, and they are discouraged from stratching into the soil. Take care, mitzilou Last edited by mitzilou on May 2nd at 4:51 PM. |

If you have pine cones or sweet gum ball, they both make great decoration and great for keeping the cats away... {Cats} for sure will kill anything they potty on. |

Put a cat litter container on the porch if they need to potty out side. |

I hope that you get a chance to play in the yard. Good luck with the kitty situation. |

For the squirrels and kitties I use Cheyenne pepper, just a little bit goes a long ways. Good luck with the cats. You should see if there is an organization in your area that comes and fixes wild cats, you could at least control the population that way. |

Great ideas you all have, perhaps I will try them all :) thirdgeneration, nope, nothing like that around here, honestly are teeny little rural town is actually bankrupt. They have extended the days that the official building operate and are only open 4 days a week..and our court house only holds court on Fridays because there is a paper shortage..crazy or what ?..so, I guess I will just keep searching for homes for these cats ! Thanks again. |
