Pet Squirrels.....


They really are not pets but they seem tame enough to act like they are.  I walked out to a bird feeder a couple of days and the one on the feeder really didn't take off until I was about a foot away from him. I really did inconvenience him though. Yesterday we watched a squirrel trying to manipulate the suet cage trying to remove it from the feeder or just open it if they could. I did find a suet cage on my roof one time and I see it had to be a squirrel that carried it up there.

Larry, firstly, I absolutely love your photo. I just 10 minutes ago saw a video where there was an orange tabby cat playing with a squirrel. It seems they were pretty good friends! Many squirrels are tame enough, but I use caution, because if they do get spooked and bite us and they have rabies....this is not good. I love them, I enjoy watching their antics. :)
