Thanks ge! It was such an eyesore for so long and you can see how close it is to the house. I'm not sure why we waited so long, every time I walked down the driveway I'd pass it and just look the other way! This is where our original planting of Ostrich Plume Astilbe is planted and I had been trying to decide where to plant more. I "found" the spot this spring but since I couldn't find any Ostrich Plume I filled it with Ferns, Hellebores and Hosta. I still have to fill the area behind the "cat" so next year I'll be looking for Ostrich Plume early and get it planted there!

Cindy, ironically 'Spilt Milk' is what I just planted in front of the "cat" - not a very exciting choice but I thought it was appropriate for the cat! LOL
