Our cat has discovered the hoophouse (only completed last
fall) and spends a whole lot of her time in it now.

She's a demon of a hunter, very successful at it. Go, Ms.
Katycat! :)

(A good thing too: she's not a very loveable cat - the most
un-affectionate cat either my husband or I have ever known.
But at least she can catch mice and voles. And anything
else small enough.)
