Cats and gardening!

[RICHARD]

I have started a little garden in the back yard and have taken the steps to clear up some of the rocks and twigs in the soil.

I break up the soil, then shovel the dirt onto a screen. The dirt that falls thru the screen is a coarse soil that I mix with some compost and it makes a nice base for planting.

As I was sitting out and watching the day end I noticed my feral friend, Ms. Kitty walking back from a little exploration.

As I sat there she walked right past my pile o' dirt, stops, backtracks and goes to the top of the heap.

I talk to her and say, "YOU ARE NOT GOING TO DO WHAT I THINK YOU ARE GOING TO DO!!!!"

Yep,
She carefully took a paw and hollowed out a nice crater..

I kept up my monologue as to try and distract her and get her to do her business someplace else.

Nope, no way.....

Done digging, she gingerly points her backside away from me-who knew cats were prim and proper?- and does a number two into the hole, then turns away to bury it.

She then didn't have the decency to walk by me!

She took another route past and left me laughing and careful about the nice little surprises I may find in my next round of gardening.

Now I have to pay attention when I start tossing my dirt around.

It's been SOILED!

yep! They like soft dirt... They are proabaly thinking how nice of you to give them a nice, clean place to go...

Back in the Way-Back Daze ...

Dad built Sis & me and the Naybur Kid a nice BIG Sandy Box at the back
of our yard. Had a mountain of fresh sand that made nice sand castles.

Nunbuddie factored in the the Nayburs also had "Priscilla" ---
One each Inside/OUTside Kitty Kat.

The New Sandy Box wasn't in service for more than a week before we began
to discover strange WET SPOTS in the castle moats AND "Tootsie Rolls"
burried in the castle walls.

We gathered a bucket of "evidence" and consulted with Mom ...


"You kids stay OUT of the Sandy Box till you Father sees this!"

Dad got a new weekend job ~~~ Head Sandy/KAT Box Sand Sifter.

C&S,

Like "Don't eat snow" - "Don't play in wet sand"?

Now I'll have to check out the area before I go in, like those soldiers that would use a bayonet to find land mines?

Ah, the life of a discerning dirt farmer!

Well Richard at least she did her business where it could be buried.
Maybe Ms Kitty was offering a little shall we say
Fertilizer!!!!!

That really must have been something to see! Still laughing hysterically!!
