Furry Garden Enemies

Who would have thought that the worst enemies of our garden so far are our very own cats?



These two may look innocent, but they have been digging in the raised beds.  The main culprit is Needles, the grey kitten.  I know this because she was kept indoors for a week after being spayed, and we had no incidents during that time.  We installed a motion activated sprinkler and chalked it up to that, but nooooo, the very day after we let her back out, I see one of the beds has been dug in, despite the sprinkler.  Thankfully it was one I haven't planted anything in yet.  She thought that the chicken wire I put over top of the other one was a comfy kitty hammock too.  Mr. Moo has only been guilty of jumping in the bed once because he wanted me to pet him instead of planting seeds. 


Our indoor cats are in on the action as well.  Nora, the 16 year old grumpy kitty, thinks that broccoli sprouts are delicious.  She normally can't jump very high, but my daughter uses a step stool to reach the upper shelves to water them, and guess who used it to have a sprout snack...  See the green on her lip?  Busted.





Callie hasn't been that destructive (yet...) but she seems to think that we are not going to need this tray for the marigolds and herbs I need to start this week.  She is going to be disappointed when I show her otherwise.

Bad kitties!!
