Scarecrows

I have a beautiful fig tree on the south side of the backyard and for the past few years, I haven't harvested a single piece of fruit.  I once heard that squirrels are simply rats with pretty tails.  After watching them steal my figs for th past few years, I decided to take charge and came up with a plan.  I planted catnip throughout the garden to encourage the neighbor kitties over to our house.  Yep, I am the neighborhood feline drug pusher.  And so far it is working!  I was surprised to find that instead of coming to our yard for a little kitty fix and chasing down some squirrels, they really come to our yard for a little kitty fix and just lay around.  So instead of attracting fierce hunters, I have attracted a bunch of scarecrows.  Either way, I cannot complain and so far the figs look great.

Wow, it's like an opium den for cats!
