ants + cats

[an-art-worker.livejournal.com]

i think the ant overlord army has arrived in davis^2!!

they have established a command post near where I feed my cat in the pantry and since cats (or at least my cat) like to snack rather than clear their plates she doesn't understand why i am not leaving her food out.

i bought those little ant traps and put them around but i can't tell if they are working: the ants still come out if i forget to immediately pick up my cat's dish after feeding her.


anyone have a good idea for a counter assualt? i thought of making an insecticide moat around the cat dish but there may be a few issues with that... i thought of feeding her on a chair but those suckers can probably climb and i don't want to give them ideas.
