I have a big oak tree in my front yard that is dropping acorns already, by the dozens. So of course there are squirrels busily getting ready for winter. Bonnie and Shamrock are on their window perches and I swear it is like watching people watch a tennis match. Heads go right together, then both look up, eyes and heads following the movements of a squirrel that has climbed on the roof and running along the gutter (I saw a squirrel doing that when I was outside working otherwise wouldn't have guessed that's what they were watching). Then the squirrel must have gone on the roof out of their line of sight because both kitties turned their heads toward the *inside* of the house looking up at the ceiling in unison. Silly kitties. LOL! I have a photo of Frank and Nikki doing that. They're sitting in the window at my mother's and watching a bird or something. I'll have to scan it if I can find it. -- Marina, Frank and Nikki marina (dot) kurten (at) pp (dot) inet (dot) fi Pics at http://uk.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/frankiennikki/ and http://community.webshots.com/user/frankiennikki |

I can remember doing stuff like sitting on my bed with a pen in my hand, waving it around in the air. The 3 of them would sit on the floor in front of me, their heads going back and forth in unison as they watched the pen move around. Hilarious! Joyce |

They're trying to tell you he went into the attic through a hole... suppose that could well be the case. Last fall the squirrels discovered a knothole in the cedar siding on our apartment building and commenced stocking pecans for the winter. Sammy and Little Bit started spending a lot of time by my kitchen window, the closest to the new nest. I really don't think they could see anything, except the squirrel coming and going, but they could sure tell something was going on. Our landlord had a devil of a time stopping the squirrels from taking up residence. He covered up the one hole they were using with a piece of sheet metal. But the squirrels had figured out how to enter through knotholes, and as soon the landlord covered one they'd move on to the next - stubborn little critters. Ended up with the landlord spending two or three days going around the two two-story buildings covering knotholes with metal and stuffing steel wool in cracks. -- Steve Touchstone, faithful servant of Sammy, Little Bit and Rocky [remove Junk for email] Home Page: http://www.sirinet.net/~stouchst/index.html Cat Pix: http://www.sirinet.net/~stouchst/animals.html |
