Sammie & The Squirrel!

[angels mommy]

So yesterday (Sat.) morning, I had just let sammie out, & saw this squirrel run up the stairs, & jump onto the trellis in the corner. He proceeded to go from the railing to the porch....With Sammie sitting right there! I couldn't believe Sammie stayed put. She's not been bothered by them coming up before, but they were usually just on the railing. I grabbed my phone & started taking pictures! With Sammie sitting still, I said, "good girl, Sammie." It wasn't until the squirrel scattered down the stairs that she chased after, but don't worry, it was safley up in the bushes by then. I also think it was the same squirrel that had been up here this summer with a wound on his right arm. It looked like all the fur was gone all the way around, like it'd been caught in something. I was happy to see it all healed up.
With these pictures, someone could write a children's book, "Sammie & the Squirrel!"

This is one brave squirrel!!!

Saipha loves squirrels too! It's a good thing there's glass between her and this squirrel.

Kelly I love the pictures!! Keep up the good work!

Honeybee gave up chasing the squirrels. She watches them but doesn't go after them anymore...she goes after Voles/Moles now. Occasionally a bird but not often.

Buddy gets to watch out the door, my squirrel's tease him all the way to the glass some days!

That's EXACTLY like Rupert and the Fox! (Rupert looks like your Sammy too!)
However, what transpired with Sammy & Squirrel wouldn't play out the same with Gibsy.

Thanks! That's his inside room. (12 or 13 of those windows, side by side).
Not to sidetrack this thread, but, this is his outside playhouse.

I saw it, I was telling a friend all about your cat and the life you have provided for him, absolutely amazing. And he is so beautiful. I am in love!

 

[angels mommy]

Thanks you guys! I love the pictures! Keep them coming!
basscat , That's AMAZING!! How wonderful! What a lucky kitty!! I wish I owned my own home, so I could do even a fraction of that! Your babies ears are so cute, they look like little racoon ears from the back. LOL!

Yes, I also had a squirrel that would come right up to the door when Angel was sitting there.
A lot of you will remember these pictures!

.....And then, BAM!! He smacked the glass! "Squirrel, you better get outta here!!"

Oh what adorable squirrel encounters! That little squirrel is very brave indeed!

Great pictures! Can't believe how close that silly squirrel got to Sammie!

I know!! I sent the picts to my parents, a couple of friends, & her Vet. The Vet said either Sammie & the squirrel know each other, or it's not the brightest squirrel in the neighborhood!

I've seen that one before. It's so cute. I believe it said that the squirrel had been abandoned, the family raised it, so it grew up w/ the cat, & that's why they knew each other.
I think it's so cute the way it rolls over the cat, playing.

If our cats get even a teeny tiny hint of a squirrel, or basically any other piece of prey, the entire area will become a bloody crime scene before you can say "mouse".

I don't know where they get that hunter blood...
