The ants have been attacking the cats' food plate on the patio very hard over these past couple of days. I sprinkled Amdro around the patio this morning. I had just set out some fresh food, hoping that the cats would not be tempted to eat the insecticide. Still, I found that I needed to chase Ash away from the stuff a couple of times, as though she were hankering for something new. Great, when I want them to be finicky, they choose to be easygoing and nonjudgmental. How very cat-like!
