My sister lives in Brisbane, where they have a law stating that cats must be brought inside at sunset, in order to protect the birds. Obviously whoever wrote the law and passed it, has never tried to catch a cat at sunset...

My own has grown old and tired now, and catches less, but we used to have to do 'dead thing sweep' of the house, before we left for work every morning. All manner of things are now buried under the lemon tree, which was thriving when we moved out.
