Start feeding a cat outdoors
Yeah - good idea.
Decades ago when Fluffy my Maine coon cat patrolled the
yard there were no problems such as chipmunks eating tomatoes.
Heck, Fluffy even contributed to mole control -
She would lie on the lawn motionless until she felt the
vibrations of a mole burrowing underground - and when
she felt one she would start digging furiously until
she came up with a mole in her mouth.
It was pretty amazing to watch.
You have put it in my mind to get another 'Fluffy'.
Maine coons are very cool and very big cats.
Smart, intelligent, playful and affectionate too.
Hmmmmm....
squirrels have done great damage to my garden and I even saw one go into a bluebird house, and later that day, we found a dead bluebird on the ground.....grrrrr.....
I've got my husband doing his great white hunter bit though....
