We're lucky in our area that there is a wonderful shelter that does not euthanize. This is even more fortunate as they recently rescued over 200 dogs and cats from a woman who had been hoarding animals in her home -- the photos were enough to break your heart!atethttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13563533672161608587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36822513.post-31193512085569781842007-12-04T02:13:00.000+09:002007-12-04T02:13:00.000+09:00I've had a cat leave deposits in my garden and...I've had a cat leave deposits in my garden and it smelled horrible for a week. Also a dog or two. I haven't found a solution, so mostly I just go inside and ignore it and hope they find someplace else to go.Shelinahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09870112367076954109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36822513.post-6132990604367121302007-12-04T01:55:00.000+09:002007-12-04T01:55:00.000+09:00I too have some doubts about cats and bottles........I too have some doubts about cats and bottles........<br>ciao ciaoteodohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09207665876205538041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36822513.post-9790459594771909552007-12-03T23:02:00.000+09:002007-12-03T23:02:00.000+09:00I'm with you, WOOF!I'm with you, WOOF!Mrs. Goodneedlehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07453388163219666450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36822513.post-7204250970622330282007-12-03T20:18:00.000+09:002007-12-03T20:18:00.000+09:00Dh said I would be laughing when I heard the reaso...Dh said I would be laughing when I heard the reasoning.

Lions are supposed to be frightened of elephants and one UK zoo started selling dried elephant dung to sprinkle round the garden to ward off the cats - no idea if it worked or not!anne bebbingtonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08352283065863856112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36822513.post-4522542041908155162007-12-03T12:51:00.000+09:002007-12-03T12:51:00.000+09:00Here, where I live in Oregon, we have incredible b...Here, where I live in Oregon, we have incredible bird populations attacking farming fields and our own gardens. We put fake plastic owls and inflatable snakes in the trees to scare the birds off from the growing fruit and vegetables. At the same time, we have bird seed feeders, suet block holders and hummingbird stations. I'd show a photo of the owl and the snake, but they disappeared. I think the birds flew off with them. Either that, or the cats had their fill of bottled water and drug them off for a little play ;)Quilting Journeyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15979296861999606692noreply@blogger.com
