I was walking around a week or so ago, and I saw a yard, lushly planted with thick, well-maintained, vegetation:
Looking around from the sidewalk, I saw this sign:

The sign reads:
Backyard Wildlife Habitat
National Wildlife Federation
This property provides the four basic habitat elements needed for wildlife to thrive: food, water, cover, and places to raise young. It has been certified by the National Wildlife Federation as an official Backyard Wildlife Habitat site.
Isn’t that a great thing to do with your yard?
The Backyard Wildlife Habitat home page is here.
#2Chuckle. Would the cats chase the critters in the habitat? Or would the cats get lost in the habitat and you'd never find them?
We've five cats in our backyard and love 'em dearly. However, they are killers at heart; mice, snakes, moles, birds, you name it. If it's smaller than them and it moves - stalk, pounce, and coup d' gras!
#4Wow, even moles? Moles can get pretty big. I have two cats, and even though they're indoor cats, it's easy for me to see what you are saying about them being predators. They are constantly stalking and hiding and sharpening their claws on everything.
Great idea... unless you've got cats.
