I agree, Purr doesn’t… I’ve never known a cat, who is otherwise fearless to be so terrified of squirrels… Doesn’t even like seeing photos of them on the computer screen!

Maggie rolled one once and it nipped her on the nose, drawing blood!

Purr loves to go on family hikes. Her first encounter with a real life squirrel was at a local park on a summer evening …. I’ve never seen her tail get so fluffy – they we saw that at least 6 squirrels were advancing on her… they looked like a wolf pack – we left quick and haven’t been back in the summer … During the winter, snow birds love to feed the squirrels, but they leave in the Spring and those squirrels do seem hungry enough to eat cats and perhaps humans, too.

I really loved the mommy squirrel asking for help with her baby. That was so precious. A huge Awww.

I loved the story, too. I also understand Purr’s fear of squirrels – it is founded in a terrifying experience at the park, when she was young – snow birds feed them, but in summer, they act hungry enough to eat cats, dogs, you, me and perhaps even a gaitor!

Awww, sweet mama needed help and knew where to get it, that’s wonderful.
It’s no wonder Purrseidon is scared of squirrels. They are vegetarian, but have been known to bite people accidentally trying to get food, it happened to my friend in Mobile. She was sharing something with her dog and a squirrel got so excited when she offered it a taste that it bit her thumb instead of the food.
This is exactly why feeding the wildlife is not always a great idea. Giving them a bit on occasion is fine, but making them dependent is not.

Exactly! Which is why there are ‘do not feed the squirrels’ signs up in the park…. Alas, I’m thinking our snow birds don’t see well enough to read the signs – if they stopped feeding them, a lot of the issues in that park would vanish.
