LlamaGirl: myschief: Are the squirrels near you huge?

Since I started feeding them, yes. There is one that I think is the alpha, and he is longer, bigger, and stronger than all the other squirrels. He's ginormous. He's also the one who likes to sit on my lap and let me pet him. I like him the best. His name is Captain Nutters.

You should try to get a picture of him. Great name by the way.

If he comes back today I shall.
He also enjoys coming right up to the door and pressing his hands on it, staring in at the cat. Ash HATES him hahaha.

We don't have any squirrels in our yard. The dog intimidates them I guess.

I have had a lot of squirrels this week. Some who I hadn't seen for a month freaked out when there was a trace of snow and came begging. They aren't very fat though, and the females don't look pregnant. Am I not feeding them enough?

The birds havent even bothered migrating. The lagoon at the park two blocks over is still full of ducks and geese.

Here is a fun free e-book about a squirrel vs. rat fight in central park. I don't remember who suggested it, but it is a fun, quick read.

On the plus side I've had tons of moving targets for my a r15 this year

That's all kinds of awesome.

themeaningoflifeisnot: I hope that the mild winter leads to an increase in our black squirrel families. They've migrated to our area during the past decade, and now I have many of them living on my property. They are beautiful.

I bet you think the property values went down because of their migration, too, don't you?!?!?

So, what's the airspeed of an unladen squirrel?

The squirrels here keep eating the mushrooms that grow in my yard and going crazy. They fall out of the trees and don't run away from my cats. Fortunately my cats are not so good at killing, and just lick them. Funny at first but I don't want my cat's bringing the plague into my house, so I discourage the squirrel licking.

After a couple days of falling out of trees, getting licked by cats and eating more mushrooms, they die. So I've got a squirrel grave yard going.

Fat squirrels? It's going to be a humdinger of a hillbilly eatin' season

You have water there? We're not likely to have any standing water anywhere in my neck of the woods.

Type 1 can be controlled with diet and exercise. Still no cure for diabetes mellitus.

This is nothing new. When I was a kid my family visited a squirrel infested tourist attraction. The squirrels there were utterly fearless and farking huge. One particularly successful beggar looked like three squirrels tied together.
