Of Ants and Mint

and kibbles and cats.

Here is what the feeding station looks like garnished with mint. So far it is working but, much easier than refreshing the mint garnish daily would be Eddie eating his kibbles without tossing some all about for the ants!

I'd love fresh mint strewn about my eating areas...very nice!

[jazzcat]

Very nice. Can we make a reservation for three???

We always knew that HH is the most stylish kitty at PT and now she begins to educate her brother: fresh mint for table decoration;)

What? No candlelight, no fine bottle of Chateau St. Michelle? No violin music. What kind of a bistro is this?:D :D :D

Is the mint working to keep the ants away?

[Vio&Juni]

I was sure it looks very nice with mint around the plates :)

I might try that too. Boys are boys :)

[ramanth]

Knowing my cats, they'd eat the mint. ;) :D Looks cute!

Neat idea. We use the moat technique here, and are poised to try the chalk ring when the ants come again. Uggghhhhh! My least favorite thing about summer...

I'll keep the mint idea as a back up!

Thanks!!!

Actually it is working. Fortunately I have quite a bit of mint in my garden as it looks rather ugly dried so I freshen it daily...:rolleyes:

[momoffuzzyfaces]

And here I was thinking you were trying to freshen their breath!
:eek:

Glad it's working for you!:D

A meal always looks a little better with a garnish added. ;) :D

We used to have mint growing out of our ears. We couldn't kill it if we tried! And now it appears we've killed it without even trying. I went to get some to sprinkle around to get rid of our ants, and we've got a measly 3 or 4 tiny plants left. Can't figure out what happened to them.....:confused:

[DJFyrewolf36]

Hrm, I know why the mint in my house dies...

Its because of nawtee kitties who seem to think eating it right off the plant makes it taste better :rolleyes:
