covering tomatoes

Apart from keeping off cats is it wise or even neccessary to cover tomatoes? I have just removed the net as it was set too low and can't be bothered to replace it with a bigger piece unless I really need to!! I actually have a tomato growing on one plant, well impressed!

I've never bothered, even the pigeons leave them alone, but I suspect one or two get nibbled by squirrels, but not that many that make me inclined to net them.

good oh, was hoping I wasn't inviting the local wildlife for a picnic!
