<DIV>We put out a bird feeder this winter, which first concerned us that
rats would be attracted to the dropped food. Instead, we have three or
four alley cats sitting atop our fence, watching the birds safely eating at a
distance (including a pair of cardinals). I think the night and
day stake out by the cats is keeping the rats at bay. We also
blocked the lower portion of our fence so they can't run from one yard to
another, or in from the alley. </DIV>

<DIV>We may have the whole food chain out there soon.
