Philadelphia Fever!

Donna M. Rohner of the Philadelphia Community Cats Council sent along this link for some good tips on keeping cats out of gardens and also the benefits of a good mouser: http://www.phillycats.org/

On the "Garden & Barn Cats / Deterring Cats" page, is this great advice:
"We strongly advocate natural, organic gardening and farming methods for both humane and environmental reasons. Many cats die needlessly from chemical herbicides, pesticides and poisons. In a sad turn of events, a chemically poisoned mouse can also poison the cat who catches him"

Having just come back from two trips up to the Philadelphia Flower Show this week, I can attest to the fact that Philly natives love their gardens and their cats! Here are a few photos from this year's flower show that contain both.
