Glad you have a good guard and early warning system.

Not sure if that will mean unusually heavy snowfall. Hope not but I'll be ready.

We had a visiting RPO at one time who we referred to as the "Scourge of Squirrels". He was a handsome gray and white fella who literally ambushed them in the leaves. I saw him end the existence of several.

It never ended well for the squirrel and resulted in lots of shouts of 'APOLLO!!! DROP IT!!!'

That was "mine" was the guardian of the yard in which we had several trees that housed a number of squirrel nests. The cat made friends with them early on and would play with them. They taught her to run down the rail of a hurricane fence and rush up a tree at lightning speed, they liked to play tag and they would look out for each other, it was interesting to watch over a five year period.

of my Winnie playing with a squirrel the first winter she was here. The squirrel would come down the tree trunk just enough to tease her, she would go up a little way, the squirrel would retreat, and so on. It went on for about 20 minutes and I recorded part of it. They both seemed to be enjoying it.

Clan of squirrels in our trees, she played tag with some of them.

I have dental surgery on the 9th..after that I am hoping I have the emotional fortitude to reach out to my friend who is "all in" rescue of doggies and kittens..she has been delightfully nudging me ..soon..(haven't been able to talk about Penny..but I am coming out of it)

Wonderful picture..

I knew I wanted Madoc to have a companion. When I took him to the vet for some vaccinations, they had two kittens that someone had abandoned by the side of a busy road. Gryff and his sister.

The second I held Gryff he just melted into my arms. I also knew that, being a black kitten, he might not get adopted as fast as his ginger sister. So I made a snap decision and have not regretted it for one instant. It was like fate had lined things up.

I still get teary eyed thinking about sweet little Morgan but Gryff has done a great job of filling that hole in my heart.

…very worthy successors, and Gryff has obviously been a worthy successor. I think Morgan would be glad for you and Gryff that you found each other.
