I've backchannelled both Vicki and Andrew re the
cat/bird problem, suggesting they think of building cat runs. I'm
posting it to the list in the hope the idea proves useful to other cat
owners/bird lovers. A friend of mine did this with her Siamese - an incredible
Houdini as well as bird-killer - adding cat 'toys' in strategic places. She did
this in a small backyard and on a minimal budget. What's more, the cat is happy.
Recyclable materials work as well as new. I live in the Dandenongs opposite a
forest so it's a major issue up here.
regards, Patricia
