One of my co-workers asked me what might be eating her marigolds. When I suggested slugs she said, no, it's something of the mammal variety. Do racoons or possums eat marigolds? Her neighbor has a cat who snacks on philodendrons; maybe the cat's the guilty one...

Hmmm. I have seen deer browse on marigolds, then again, they also enjoy rose bushes.

Any deer out your way?

Most likely a bunny wabbit. And even night beetles will strip marigold foil-i-age overnight! :O

As for kitty's eating philodedron..... kinda doubt that, cause, once they nibble on that plant, it's not too likely (unless kitty's a masochist) they'll go back. It's rather distasteful and leaves rather unpleasant sensation in their mouths.

Yep.....waskily wabbits is my guess! Razzer
