Guess who’s been eating the cat food when you leave it out on the patio at night?
Gary:
My sis sent this from her home in So. Calif. What advice should I give her?

Karen:
If your sis hasn’t already figured it out, I suggest that she NOT leave food out to feed the cat on the patio in the evening and at night. This just attracts the skunks … and one day your sis will pay the price when a VERY BAD smell wafts through her house. It’s OK to feed the cat outside during the day when skunks are fast asleep. /Gary

OTOH, when I stopped feeding the cats (and the skunks) on my back porch, the cats (they’re all neighbor cats — mine are indoor only) went into a 6-month snit. The skunks just turned to decimating my tomato harvest.
