They are nearly as big as them and do not run when they are sitting on the porch railing and you open the door. They just stare you down until you actually knock them off the railing with the broom.<BR/><BR/>I'm thinking about some sort of cage to put around them, but then that's not real perty.Cakeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01008830915674432732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32812480.post-17762143509658932852008-02-19T16:13:00.000-06:002008-02-19T16:13:00.000-06:00Unfortunately, I doubt the cats will help.

I have had TWO rodent-hunting dogs (terriers-- they were historically bred for that) in my yard for YEARS and the squirrels just learn to watch out for them, and eat my tomatoes when the dogs aren't around. <BR/><BR/>Sadly, I've given up on my city-grown container tomatoes for this reason! :(<BR/><BR/>Maybe you could call the MN Landscape Arboretum for Nick & Lizzyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11326590589340535573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32812480.post-11509475564551588222008-02-19T10:36:00.000-06:002008-02-19T10:36:00.000-06:00They could be right about the cats.

We had to fence the garden because of the groundhogs, but something was still eating the zucchini - until the cat left us two dead chipmunks on the deck. For some reason, the squirrels (and we have huge ones) have not gone for the garden, but the cats did catch one - once. They're more wary now, I guess.<BR/><BR/>That being said, your cats are still pretty Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32812480.post-86765443376891104822008-02-19T02:51:00.000-06:002008-02-19T02:51:00.000-06:00Sorry, suck at gardening but I would also let the ...Sorry, suck at gardening but I would also let the cats out so they can do their squirrel hunting job.Melhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08294506044356072366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32812480.post-14741184383996912392008-02-19T02:28:00.000-06:002008-02-19T02:28:00.000-06:00I have no idea how useful any advice I have will b...I have no idea how useful any advice I have will be since I am right on the other side of the atlantic but here goes. My mother lives next door to us and has a beautiful garden. She is constantly at war with rabbits. We also have a nice garden, not as nice as my mothers but anyway, and we have no rabbits. I'm certain it's because of our cats, she has none. Do your cats go outside? Ours go in and Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
