My daughter put a dish containing dried cat food on to her garden path,
about half and hour later she looked out and saw that the dish was covered
in slugs of all sizes, not only were they enjoying the cat food but there
were at least another 20 advancing up the path towards the dish, how do they
communicate or is it just the smell of the cat food that attracts them.

Just the smell I think. As far as I know they're not social beings.

Now all we need is a way to convince cats to eat slugs full of cat food. I
reckon you're onto a winner here.

No way, our stray Tom that lives under our BBQ won't touch his biscuits if a
slug has been near them, we have to throw them away.
