On looking at some of the problems you are having with cats/foxes etc reminded me of these I took a couple of years ago.

Note if you have foxes you don't get cats as a rule, but then again how do you get rid of foxes.

Ensure there is no suitable food around for them. I found out my next door neighbour was feeding this one and he had siesta in mine. When my neighbour stopped feeding him he found pastures new.

n.b. This one was also partial to house slippers, he actually came into my storm porch and took one, I found it all chewed up in next doors garden. How he stood the smell I don't know ;D

But there was one benefit, foxes like to bury eggs for later use, in the case of this fella; he couldn't find eggs so he used to fetch me golf balls.

Finally the damage he did;

:'(me neither doesn't it make you curious to know what they were like

The gardener · « **Reply #6 on:** March 06, 2004, 19:36:22 »

I can't understan why you are not getting them they are all OK on my PC. Admittedly I can't get the urls to open.

I will try again from a different source. Plus I will show as images and urls

Sorry folks....I just can't understand it, although I have noticed even I have lost the one I set up in Yahoo, but the HP ones are still there.

Any ideas Aka Dan if you are looking in?

Garden Manager · « **Reply #11 on:** March 07, 2004, 13:20:28 »

Ditto. no good here I am afraid 'gardener' :(

Tried all options given too

Admin aka Dan · « **Reply #12 on:** March 07, 2004, 14:49:19 »

It is I think the way you are linking to hpphoto.

You are (I think) linking to a temporary page - indicated by the word session in the url.

This is why when you post you can see them, and a time later you can not - the session has expired !

Others who use hpphoto have mentioned something about an auction link which is the correct one to use as it is not a temporary session based image.

I'm sure others can help more than me.

Cheers

Dan

Oh yes Dan - someone told me (I forget who) about using the 'create a link for auction' and since then I have had no probs at all posting pics - could that be the answer ???

The gardener · « **Reply #14 on:** March 08, 2004, 13:48:02 »

Will try again;

I know its not the point - but what a fabulous animal! I love the pic of him yawning, quite at home as if he was your pet cat! Brilliant photos

They really are lovely Photos well done.

Margaret · « **Reply #19 on:** March 08, 2004, 16:21:53 »

I would be overjoyed to have him do that sort of damage!! You are SO lucky.No way would I consider him a pest,in fact I don't consider anything in my garden a pest.Not even slugs or snails because they provide food for my frogs and birds!!
