1128843	2010-08-18 00:21:00	Yep, Put the cat's dish in a shallow container of water. Ants can't swim :)	Sue (33)

Keep in mind however no non toxic method is going to work if you are in the habit of leaving cat food lying around in a bowl. This indicates chow time to the ants. Me thinks this is where the real problem is. If your cat is leaving food it means you are giving it too much. Give smaller proportions more often, as cats are picky eaters. Putting the cat's bowl in a larger bowl with a little water does work to a point but eventually the cat's bowl works closer and closer to the side the cat is eating from. BURNZEE	Burnzee (6950)
