Cat Proofing the Seedlings

This week we struggled with a way to protect the seedlings from the cats.  Originally we just had the plastic covers on the seedlings planters which kept the cats from getting to them.  This worked for awhile until the plants got to tall to keep the plastic cover on.  Then came the cat proofing plan.  We placed the containers in the bay window and then put up some contractor paper over the bay window to prevent the cats from hopping in the bay window and eating them.

Oh well there goes that plan.

After patching up the hole we decided to move a shelf below the window that gave her a starting point to hop into the bay window so we will see how long the second version of this plan lasts.
