    Perhaps this is the solution?




    … and some anteater jokes:

    Why don't anteaters get sick? Because they're full of anty-bodies!

    What kind of topping does an anteater like on his pizza? Antchovies!

    An anteater walks into a bar and says that he'd like a drink.
    "Okay," says the bartender. "How about a beer?"
    "Noooooooooo," replies the anteater.
    "Then how about a gin and tonic?"
    "Noooooooooo." "A martini?" "Noooooooooo."
    Finally, the bartender gets fed up and says,
    "Hey, listen buddy, if you don't mind me asking -
    why the long no's?"

    "Peace cannot be achieved through violence,
    it can only be attained through understanding."
    Albert Einstein

    Great ides...

    Stomp on some ants and sing with me:

    Dead ant, dead ant dead ant-ant-ant, dead ant dead ant dead ant-ant-ant, dead ant dead ant dead ant-ant-ant .... deaaaaaaaaaad ant, deaaad ant!

    In case you can't tell, I HATE ANTS!!

    We don't have a problem in this house, thank Heavens, but we've had troubles in other houses. I will take the chalk suggestion on board!

    Divided we fall.

    Looks like a major ant year in California.
    No ants here, but I have those little insects we call silverfishs behind my fridge.

    They come out in the night and Tigris sits there waiting for them He does not take as long for decisions as Livvy and stocks up his diet that way

    All you can do is get one and find out, Richard! Oh, and get a good digital camera too, so you can get the whole thing on "film" for us too, ok?

    Being an Australian, we are expert at dealing with ants.

    First of all put the cat's dinner dishes on a plate and pour a small amount of water around them. Top this up daily when needed.

    Ants HATE water. Once the ants realise that they can't get at the food they will stop.

    Secondly, find out where the ants are coming from and get some pyrethrum pump spray from the local hardware store. Pyrethrum is not toxic to cats but toxic to ants. Spray where they are coming in with a good layer of it. Do NOT mop or wet the area for at least 7 days and reapply when needed.
    "A cat cannot see directly under its nose. This is why the cat cannot seem to find tidbits on the floor."
