I give you Photographic Evidence
These were taken after I, innocently sitting at my desk working, heard a loud THUMP against the window, turned around, and saw Pandora sitting up close to the glass, peering out.
The thump came, not from my beloved hunter-cat, but the Damned Squirrel, who had somehow determined that there were corn chips on the counter. Next to the cat. Cat be damned, apparently... human also be damned, since when I leaned in and barked at him, he just made a very nervous hhhnnnhhh noise, and stuck around until I removed the chips from sight. I suspect there will be a call to animal control, if he doesn't go away (poor thing, but eventually I'll want to open my windows w/o worrying about a furry little home intruder....)



and yes, I suspect this is the same little furry bandit who broke in (tearing my screen in the process) last summer. So he knows there is food here...

Date: 2012-02-10 06:34 pm (UTC)When I was in college, a housemate of mine came out of the shower, shut his bedroom door, and had the strangest feeling he was being watched. He turned around and saw a squirrel peering at him through the window. The squirrel then hopped down a couple of feet on the porch roof and lay, spread eagle, sunning itself.
Oh yeah, squirrels are impertinent bastards.
