Please can someone make me feel better?  We just had our first cat,
mainly because the kids wanted one, and I've sooooooooo fallen in love
with her it isn't true! anyway, we've kept her in the house as advised
for 3 weeks and have just now started taking her into the garden with us
- trouble is she's nibbling at every plant in sight and I'm scared to
death she'll poison herself.

 It is not going to be practical to keep her indoors all the time, we
have as I said, children and during the summer they are in and out all
day long, also we have French doors which are always open all summer
when we are home - and when the weather is good enough (we're in the
UK), and no way will my husband agree to having the house shut up all
the time - come to that I don't want to live that way myself. Husband
also points out that even if we uprooted every plant in our garden, no
way could we get the neighbours to do the same.  Plus there are several
local cats who have been hale and hearty for years, so they obviously
haven't poisoned themselves yet.....but still I worry!

Any useful anti-worrying advise would be appreciated - blimey, I worried
less than this when the children were babies!
