1. rat with a fancy tail...

6. I agree but my wife thinks they're cute

She throws out peanuts and bird seed every night, now they get in our garage and dig under the foudations of our shed and house.

12. Hmmmm, sounds like a cheesy horror movie...

okay tell the set guys we couldn't get scorpions so we have squirrels,...make the most of it

[stellanoir]

2. I had to stop feeding the birds early this year

Had about a dozen of them hovering about. Cute as hell but I started to hear stories of disasterous damage they cause to a homes electrical systems once they really hunker down.

The squirrel proof bird feeders don't really solve the problem either as the birds or strong winds cause the feed to scatter so the squirrels still are attracted to them.

I'd say very, very cute, but threatening menaces as well.

on edit- and menacing threats also

3. They never poop!

Squirrels are everywhere. Why aren't we buried under mounds of their excrement?

[ltfranklin]

4. Are you sure...

...you really want to know the answer to THAT question? Because I don't think you really do...not really!

[Joe Power]

10. It has always bothered me

Bird poop is everywhere, but there is no squirrel poop.

13. They poop in my bathrobe pocket when spending the nite inside

after the cat drags one in to play with it. nasty rodents with big teeth. Sort of cute though.

5. The Grey ones are a menace

They've invaded England and are driving out our own red ones.

7. You can hear their nuts rattle

when you shake their tree!

[El Fuego]

8. Just plain cute!

[blindpig]

9. I'm gonna kill those fuckers

chewed holes in four hummingbird feeders this past week. Enough is enough. I'd been planning on saving them for the hard times to come but to hell with that. They're python food!

[graywarrior]

11. They sit on the tree branch next to my window and screech

at my cat who sits at the window meowing back at them. They're fucking cat tormentors.

[tammywammy]

22. I thought it was the other way around

My cats would be in the backyard, doin' their backyard thing, and the squirrel would sit on the fence and bark at them. And the cats did nothing, just ignored it. So the squirrel would move a bit and start barking again. I just thought the cats were tormenting the squirrel, because it couldn't get down to the bench to get the peanuts.

[Nevernose]

14. I really miss squirrels

We don't have them here in the desert. Hell, we don't even have birds except pigeons and mourning doves. And god how I hate the mourning doves, I LOATHE them really -- I wish that I wasn't allergic to cats!

[ltfranklin]

17. Well, they're not exactly squirrels, but...

Maybe you've got some of these?




Here's More

[Nevernose]

18. Nope. This is as close as we get to cute and cuddly:

and


The rabbits this year are ENORMOUS though, I guess something to do with all of the unseasonal rain.

I did see one of these last month, though, during a camping trip a couple hundred miles north in the Great Basin (and a hellish, freak snowstorm!)

[MrSandman]

15. It's what's for dinner...nt

[Robeson]

16. Squirrels just wanna' have fun!....

...and they're cuddly and cute!

[crispini]

19. They're cute, but they eat my tomatoes.

This year I planted the tomatoes right near the neighbor cat's perch. ;)

[Robeson]

20. Geez, I just planted some tomatoes for the first time....

...do squirrels like them?

[crispini]

25. Yes, the little bastids will come down and

pick them off the plants before they're ripe and EAT them and leave half of them there on the lawn. :mad:

Let your cat out. :7

[RushIsRot]

21. I feed 20-25 daily in a local park.

Some sit on the picnic table beside me. One climbs my leg for her treats. Several hop into my lap for theirs. It all depends upon where you befriend them. My frontyard squirrels are a bit more aloof. For that, I'm grateful.

[entanglement]

23. If you really want to find out what I think

you must start a thread in GD about hunting feral squirrels in Wisconsin. :P

24. Oh God, you're going to give the Gun Lobby wet dreams.
