Getting rid of ants without hurting the kitty

Tweet

Wow, I just realized I haven't been on mylot for awhile. In fact, I didn't even intend to come here tonight, but happened to click on it on my home page that comes up when I start my browser. But it is good to be back! I've been busy trying to straighten out a lot of things around the house. Among the many other, larger issues, I now need to find a way to get rid of ants, without poisoning my kitty. I have done some research, but am curious if others here have anything they have used that works. Luckily, so far they are on kitchen counters where the cat does not go (she is older and rarely jumps higher than the coffee table), but they are getting closer to her bowl.
