Of course, you might not want your cats up there, either. LNC As with most cats, they go where they choose. But they would not have an opportunity to play with the food - the moment it hit the ground, the big golden would jump in. Ordinarily, the cats groom him, but he is a chow-hound. This might lead to some conflict. The cats have access to a cat-fenced side-yard, so they get the occasional mouse, squirrel, vole or young rabbit (young enough to get through the chain-link). But I would like to see them hunt more. For whatever (good) reason they almost entirely ignore birds outside, but take great pleasure in watching over the robins' nest directly under a hallway window. It'd be fun to see how these things work out but would it be $40-worth of fun? My daughter's a knitter. Maybe she could make something cheaper. LNC |
