I love the birds that have found their way into my backyard because of the feeders, the birdbaths, and the flower gardens. Unfortunately, the squirrels won’t leave the birdseed alone and they are quite remarkable at figuring out how to get their grubby little paws on it. Hubby gets a kick out of watching them and for some reason he thinks it’s funny when they get on my bird feeder and chow down. I gave up and resigned to the fact that if I want to feed the birds I also must feed the squirrels. I’m not totally opposed to it since they are cute, even though they are a bit greedy. However, I draw the line when it comes to this little rodent! I’m not sure how to draw the line, or where to draw it, but I’m drawing it (even if it means no birds). Hubby was able to get this picture because the thing was petrified of the cat that was hanging around the bottom of the bird feeder post waiting for him to dismount. That also explains why I found bird feathers and other ruminants of what was once a blue jay. I suppose I have been living in denial thinking there are no rats or mice in the woods behind our house. Gives me the creeps! This picture was taken about a week ago and we haven’t seen a rat since then. Come to think of it, the birds are not as abundant either. But the squirrels…let me just say, they do not fear cats!

The squirrels may not fear the cats, but they do fear Oscar and he takes the job of chasing them away quite seriously! It makes me laugh just thinking about that!
