Cats are the best kinds of garden companions, I think. Mine certainly love to hang out and are great company outside. <BR/><BR/>My Kernal loves it when I trim off a large grass stalk and trail it around the garden for him to chase!

We have two outdoor cats, since we live on a farm, besides the the two indoor cats, and they love to follow me around the garden, too. As you say, I don't mind their occasional messes in the garden as much as other creatures' disturbances. I've learned some tricks to deter them from doing too much damage to the garden as well.<BR/>Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01384059342847120951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20831949.post-51752800916333959872009-02-05T21:37:00.000-04:002009-02-05T21:37:00.000-04:00I must say that I myself am very much the animal l...I must say that I myself am very much the animal lover! When I was younger, I used to live on a farm. Now, it wasn't your traditional farm with cows and all rather a farm with peacocks, doves, parrots, bunnies, puppies, chickens, ducks, and a dog named Bonnie that made sure every thing was okay! :) Basically a farm that consisted of only the cutest animals on the planet!
