Seeing Eye-to-Eye

DRH · 04-17-2010, 03:31 PM

A very bold gray squirrel has recently learned that he can come right up to our picture windows and taunt the cats, and that they can't get him. I took this shot today of the squirrel teasing Marty, our flame-point Siamese. The squirrel showed no fear at all.

I think that squirrel isn't long for this world, better get more pictures while you can!!!!

Could it be that this squirrel has been exposed to a cat when young? Sometimes we see pictures of a mother cat nursing a new born squirrel along with her kittens? I am looking at only this one picture but the squirrel almost seems adoring in some way? Maybe I am just a romatic at heart!

The squirrels also taunt our Bluepoint and Sealpoint Siamese.... they DO know the cats can't get to them, or they'd be munched on already. The little chipmunks taunt the cats also. But it is kinda fun to listen to the cats chatter to the rodents!

You may have a point, Lucky1, in which case he may consider the cat to be friend rather than foe and is only asking, "Can you come out and play?"

Maybe that squirrel is the one that came up with the idea of the lights on Rattlesnake.

Squirrel: "How do you get in?"

Cat: "How do you get out?"

Now it's time to fry up a snack!

Being the Bon Vivant he is from New Orleans, Marty would like to know the best wine to go with squirrel. He is planning on making a piquant gumbo with his tormentor and is unsure if red or white goes best with squirrel.
