It was interesting to see that you were the only blogger participating in the GGW Design Workshop to bring up the issue of cats hunting birds and other wildlife. I guess that can be a serious problem in some areas. I don't have any cats myself, but I can't say that I get too upset about my neighbors' cats hunting for mice and voles around my barns and gardens.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4793702278130036246.post-37471744623928149442009-02-25T22:34:00.000+00:002009-02-25T22:34:00.000+00:00I love nothing more than watching my boys sunbathi...I love nothing more than watching my boys sunbathing in the garden, having a roll in the dust on the patio, or skitting across the garden chasing blades of grass, leaves or goodness knows what!

I've been too busy to write about pets in the garden, but I think you've captured everything I would have said about my cats anyway:) I can relate to the cats being nearby when you're trying to work in the garden--that's the time they want to rub against me and get petted. Mine also don't bother the plants other than to temporarily flatten a few. And the nepeta I have--which one catalog said would not attract them--is their favorite plant of all!Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01384059342847120951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4793702278130036246.post-29227385785829883552009-02-25T01:20:00.000+00:002009-02-25T01:20:00.000+00:00I just love your kitties.
