What cute interlopers you have!
There’s my Cooper Murphy on guard duty. Squirrels are evil and all kitties know that. Dogs do too.
Thank you for joining the Wordless Wednesday Blog Hop.
Have a fabulous Wordless Wednesday. Scritches all around and a hug to mom. ♥
Cooper that fellow is really running all over so I expect he got a day pass
Good job guarding the castle against that cheeky interloper, Cooper Murphy!
Oh no! An evil squirrel. Good job guarding. XO
No squirrel will be unseen while Cooper Murphy’s on watch!
Terrific photos!
How dare that tree rat steal the water from your plant! XOX Xena, Lucy and Chia
Those interlopers steal our “squirrel-proof” birdseed all the time!!
The Florida Furkids with love and whisker kisses to Sawyer from Noelle
WHEW! Thank goodness you are there and on the job! Good work! Is he on the “wanted” list? I should say “not wanted” list.
Coop you make a grand “watch-cat”…..watching the squirrel getting a drink is about the best you can do when you’re INSIDE and the interloper is outside.
Hugs, Teddy
We have a pair that lives here – I think they are very put out by the painters right now.
Cooper Murphy looks like he’s taking his job very seriously! That squiirrel is stealing the plants drink for himself.
