My poor bulbs

Not cats in this case, but squirrels. What should have been a lovely tub of tulips is about to have four rather stunted flowers. I found several half-eaten bulbs spread around the patio though there was no sign of digging - the little b.....s had just pulled them out whereas the local badger would have made a mess digging them out.

I feel for you BlueBelle as the same thing happens here. I have a very small garden but it is very important to me. Next door’s cats climb out of their bedroom window onto the flat roof and down via the fence into my garden. As my soil is nice and crumbly, they love it. I would like to blast them with a hose (which I’ve been told works) but I need to keep on the right side of their owners.

I m not asking for a solution as there isn’t one This has been discussed before but I just need a five minute vent about the bluddy cat that has just scratched up a load of bulbs I planted and done a great big old whatsot in the middle for the second time in two days I don’t hate cats per sey but I could cheerfully strangle this one
