Borders without Wars

When we bought our house the backyard boasted no less than 2 fences which were set back anywhere between 7 inches and 2 foot 7 inches from the actual property line and that was on one side. Before Spring and Summer caught up with us we decided to reclaim the backyard and restore it to a more reasonable rectangle instead of a rhombus.
One side of the fence which borders our next door neighbor unfortunately had to remain in place. So there is now two feet of unused space which includes a row of bushes, a chain fence, and a wooden fence, in that order from their side to our side.
The back fence was easier since all fences were clearly on our property and no bushes. Luckily it was the most askew and need of straightening out.

Anti-Rodent Device

Now that we are done re-doing everything we have a guest that just doesn't realize that it is time to go. His three friends have met with some untimely ends (yeah!), but there seems to be one more having a run of our house. Let's call him "Ben". Ben has been spotted on every floor except for the third floor. Most recently he was in the basement.
As this post points out we have a temporary Anti-Rodent Device. Her name is Telullah. My only hope is that Ben and Telullah don't forge some unnatural relationship like this "defective" cat to the left. To be fair, if Ben makes it out of our house alive that is fine with me-- it just better happen sooner rather than later. Telullah-- KILL!
