Wouldja look at them locks... what a girly Gary! LOL

Since I've adopted the feral cats I have no more critter problems, and
since I cut a small hole in the garden's wire fence the ferals are
patroling in their constanly. The only damaged tomatoes I see are
from insects... just eat around the worm. Even the resident Woody, as
big as it's grown, is very wary of my ferals. There's a small entry
hole at the corner of teh one car detached garage I use as a gardening
shed. Woody used to spend time in there especially in inclement
weather but now the ferals hijacked it and won't grant Woody entry.
Click on the picture, then click on Raw Image, the picture will
enlarge and you'll see the hole. Often those ferals hunt as a pack of
six, I've seen them gang up on large racoons and possums and drive
them off... only the skunks get a pass. However the past few days the
Canada geese flock has grown to about a hundred, cats give those
honkers wide berth.
