TO EAT OR TAUNT? THAT’S THE QUESTION
Social Media
ONE OF A KIND
I don’t know how to say good-bye.
I thought you were invincible; though,
You used up many of your nine lives.
You ruled us all with an iron paw;
Never took “no” for an answer
And always got your way.
If not, you’d bark to signal your
Displeasure and sometimes raise a paw.
I always joked that you were bi-polar.
When I told people you were a calico
They immediately understood what I meant.
Today was unnaturally quiet in the house.
Can a home seem empty with eight cats?
I will miss waking up at night to find you
Sitting next to me and staring at me.
I will miss you yelling at us as you did
When you wanted breakfast and dinner.
I will miss watching you lounging and snoozing
On the porch settee on a warm afternoon.
But most of all I will miss your kisses!
When kitten Sawyer befriended you,
We suspect you were imparting your
Wisdom and secrets for controlling us.
Time will tell if he was a good listener.
But whatever he may have learned,
Neither Sawyer nor any other cat
Can or will replace you in our hearts.
Lily Olivia, you were one-of-a-kind.

Ah yes……the age old question…..we just watch or do we make a GRAB for it?!?!?!
Hugs, Sammy
Squirrels are genetically inclined to TAUNT!!
We don’t understand the question – you should go for both!
I vote for taunt! If you eat him, you won’t have him around to play with later. However, you can taunt him over and over again. It’s the gift that keeps on giving! 🙂 Great photos by the way!
Let us at him!!! Those pesky squirrels are always taunting us!
Sampy sends a kiss to Astrid for every squirrel in the world, and we all send love and hugs!
HAH! That squirrel has a mangy tail. I don’t think he’d taste that good.
Well, I don’t think Rhette would know a squirrel if it looked right at him through the window. But Taffy freezes in place every time we see one on our walks and I am pretty sure she would eat one if she caught it. Love Dolly
We are trying to find a way to hang our water dish so the squirrels can have some water. We have little rain again this year…so much for all the bs about ‘El Nino’…just sayin’
OMC so cute!!!
Those are some fun photos! We get tons of squirrels in our backyard, and my furbabies love the shows they put on. I put food out for the squirrels, birds, and neighborhood outdoor kitties, so the critters are well fed, and they show it. Purrs and happy squirrel-watching!
Those look like some super happy squirrels!
Squirrels are very annoying! They sit eating the bird food, and when I run out to chase them off, they have already scarpered! I should ask my mum to leave the window open so I can get at them more quickly.
Those are some skinny December squirrels from what we get around here. By now they are all so fat in Connecticut.
That’s a lot of squirrels! We usually see one once in a while 🙂
Purrs xx

We wish there were more squirrels round where we live as we like to chitter at them!
Luv Hannah and Lucy xx xx
Wow, three all at once!
All different colors, even!
They can be so pesky and bold…we say lets chase em away! What fun and good exercise!
Those squirrels are … well … squirrely!
We love Squirrel TV!
I prefer my meat from a can. If you eat those, you’ll be picking fur from your teeth forever. They’re best left for your entertainment.
They are silly little boogers!
Them sqwerls drive mum crazy with them trying to get the fevver foods.
Ashton would TOTALLY eat it!
Oh my stars, mommy just got SO scared cause she works on Wednesdays! MOL Silly mommy. The squirrels next door always tease us from the roof of the house. They’re lucky we can’t get up there.
The chasing is much more fun than the eating.
First you need to catch it 🙂
Love the squirrel my friends. A very good shot indeed. Now, this Niphead Anonymous could have been written for me…and I love it!
(((Shoko)))
You are posting early! Cute collage, too. Welove squirrels.
Definitely taunt! We have squirrels that sit on our deck railing just taunting out cats!
Let me at those squirrels!!!!!
