They can be a real nuisance, and as Frances mentions, vicious too. We had one kill 3 of our barn cats in Dec. of '06, and wound the legs of 2 others who were lucky enough to get away. So, while we still think they look cute, we don't like to see them around our barn.

Yes, my first thought was for our furries and how glad I am that they are all indoor kitties--except the little black one has been making a go for it every time I open the door.

Over here in Magnolia (and a block off Discovery) they just walk up the sidewalk like they own the place. I still think they're cute though, but my kitchen garden isn't in yet!Gardenesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11447339122924259391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6991056909531844827.post-88880040176908814112008-04-15T12:30:00.000-07:002008-04-15T12:30:00.000-07:00Caught in the ACT !!!

We have little love for them, they have murdered our kittens in our former TN house, snatched right out of the box in the garage, coming in through the cat door. No love for them at all. I do like your cloche idea, it solves many problems, including keeping out salad thieves!Frances,https://www.blogger.com/profile/03616568389165362993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6991056909531844827.post-51644543797501708392008-04-15T02:34:00.000-07:002008-04-15T02:34:00.000-07:00LOL, I wonder why you think it's a boy. ;-) Very n...LOL, I wonder why you think it's a boy. ;-) Very nifty those cloches, don't you think?
