Byron I don't know how many plants you're starting, but I would try putting them all on a big tray of tin foil, so that the cat would have to stand on the foil. Most cats HATE to walk on aluminum foil as there is no traction for their paws. How about getting some catnip seeds and sprouting that? Bet they'll have no interest in your seedlings once they've got their own! Let us all know what works :) Valerie > Anyone have a good method of keeping cats out of seedlings > started in a house, short of shooting the cat, causing too many > other problems -- Valerie / Breeze ICQ# 3953329 http://www.Geocities.com/Yosemite/1495 "the future is no place to place your better days" djm
