Sorry, I don't mean to change the subject from our cats do deer, but. I have to confess to you that I am very heavily involved in trying to remove all the unfair blame for black-legged ticks/Lyme disease cast on deer. Scientific studies have shown that the number of deer have nothing to do with

OFF TOPIC RE: DEER I think there is another forum for this. I am sorry for posting here. Natalie, Hold on. I am not blaming the deer. I was over simplifying, so I apologize. I have oppossum raccoons and squirels too. I battle the deer beacuse they eat my daylilies. I have lived here for 25 years

RE: deer not really off topic, deer carry deer ticks and they hurt our cats. Nothing stops deer 100%, but it does hlp to plant Peonies and yarrow. Something they don't like about the smell I guess. It does work because my oriental lilies that are by peonies and yrrow have not been touched. --

One of my 1st group of cats lost a small patch of hair where I applied the Revolution, but it came back in pure white. So far, no problem with my new cats. I like the idea of duct tape and lint rollers to pick them up. Sure beats trying to pick them off one at a time. Sally Davis wrote:
