does your cat have a symbiotic relationship with the ants in your home?


I am at my wits end with the friggin ants that get into the cat's food! the heat is driving the ants into the house by the millions. Since ant poison is out of the question, i have tried putting the food/snack bowls in a plate with water, a kind of "ant moat" (not to be confused with AUNT MOAT, who passes out in YOUR favorite chair after Thanksgiving dinner....) but, the cat pushes the bowl to one side, defeating the moat's purpose, spills food on the floor, drinks the water in the plate or the heat just plain evaporates the water...

i have a spray bottle filled with rubbing alcohol and that seems to work, for a while.......the ants sober up and get back to the attack....

i have tried everything....i need help. i have ants in my pants....
