I love reading them. And thanks, too, for giving Sylvester such a warm welcome! Yesterday Joe said to Sylvester, "You're a blog star, buddy!" : )</B><BR/><BR/><B>Stacy,</B><BR/>You asked for ideas on how to keep the cats from pooping in the veggies - that's a good question. Cats love fresh garden dirt! (Ick.) I've noticed that if I mulch around plants then it isn't nearly as inviting to the cats as bare soil. I think it appears less diggable. : ) I use grass clippings around smaller plants, manure bedding hay from the barn (like <A HREF="http://www.foodiefarmgirl.blogspot.com/2005/06/that-outfit-could-kill-you.html" REL="nofollow"><B>in this photo</B></A>) for tomatoes and other larger plants, and if I don't have any mulch handy (or am feeling particularly lazy) I simply pile on the weeds I just plucked out - works great and improves the soil as well!<BR/><BR/><B>Wendy,</B><BR/>Use bread that didn't rise all the way to make homemade breadcrumbs! Just whiz slices (fresh or toasted) in the blender or food processor and store in the freezer in a plastic container or zipper bag.<BR/><BR/><B>Anna,</B><BR/>Oh, that's so sweet. I love Topaz's two different colored front paws - they're so silly and cute. : )Farmgirl Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04851855517852917202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12997259.post-43858986733705745262009-01-10T11:23:00.000-06:002009-01-10T11:23:00.000-06:00what a wonderful cat!what a wonderful cat!Babycakeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01482153985874112267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12997259.post-74718536314403990132009-01-09T21:58:00.000-06:002009-01-09T21:58:00.000-06:00The cat is cute and fluffy.The cat is cute and fluffy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12997259.post-5090359500662867022009-01-09T16:57:00.000-06:002009-01-09T16:57:00.000-06:00Awww seeing Sylvester makes me miss our Honey..she...Awww seeing Sylvester makes me miss our Honey..she passed away this past summer.

We got her from a shelter after she had a litter of kittens. All of the kittens were adopted but not her. We took her home and she is very happy here. She is the best cat we ever had. Right now, she spends her days either in front of our pellet stove soaking up the heat or under the Christmas tree.<BR/><BR/>I enjoyed reading your blog.

Who needs arugula and swiss chard anyway!? ;) <BR/>A word about Topaz - when I saw her, I longed for my departed Mishka - my 20+ year old tortie who left us over a year ago. When clicking on your picture of her (to enlarge it) - I can almost feel the fur - and that orange foot - I used to tell Mish: "silly girl, you picked up the wrong foot when God send you here - it doesn't match the others". Silly. I miss her so much, even though I have 5 still.
