I would have thought that Buddy would have sent a warning bark or two in the direction of the neighbourhood cats misusing your front garden! xx Carohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11317388242574705433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8983898767534428385.post-59886535015482044422020-04-04T12:46:29.141+01:002020-04-04T12:46:29.141+01:00When he was alive our cat Rory used to take great ...When he was alive our cat Rory used to take great joy in pooing in my veg patch despite having access to a litter tray.

I'm not proud of the moment that I told one owner that if her cat ate any of the poisonous plants in my other garden and then died, it would be her responsibility. That cat hasn't been back. I'm now working on distraction rather than a straight no - just the same as I would with small children.

I don’t dislike cats and would never harm one but I do wish they would keep to their own patch.

Our foxes usually roam at night so the cats have free reign during the day. When I helped out on the local allotments, there was an allotment cat (he really did live there, in a greenhouse!) and was very useful in keeping the allotments rats under control! xxCarohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11317388242574705433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8983898767534428385.post-73311423636628458572020-03-02T14:05:52.082+00:002020-03-02T14:05:52.082+00:00Lovely post and pictures.

A few cats roam the allotments, and I've only ever seen one once on my plot, but with resident foxes they mostly keep away. xxFlightyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18082758817547303423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8983898767534428385.post-70018866029366182532020-03-02T10:32:14.958+00:002020-03-02T10:32:14.958+00:00It's a sobering reality, isn't it!

I think some of the cats in my urban neighbourhood don't have their own gardens - even more reason to train them with a litter tray!

And then I realised she likes the nice loose soil I make for her to use as a lavatory. Cats never seem to use their own gardens.Chlorishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01985559591515617972noreply@blogger.com
