Squirrel Part 2

AYLA:

I was trottin in from the far back yard an heard a squirrel onna ground unner the birdfeeder. So I stopped an waited. Sure enuf, it was the same squirrel I chased from the deck a few days ago! I just hunkered down an waited...

Well, The Big Thing apparently saw both me an the squirrel, so he decided ta "help". Now, I know this is gonna be a shock ta most of you kitties, but TBT is actually GOOD at this stuff. I only learned tonite (when I asked about it) that he used tas even go hunt VISHUS DEER wif no more than little pointy arrows. I have a whole new opinion of him.

Annyway, when he judged the squirrel was most vulnerable, he boldly walked out on the deck. That distracted the squirrel, who made a few uncertain hops (in my direction). COOL!

When I jumped at the squuirrel, it ran for the tree I climb. Well, I almost got there first! It started to run up the tree, but I did too.

But THIS time, I got to the first branch afore the squirrel (Am I a fast climber or what?). Well the squirrel was BELOW me on the tree and dint no what ta do.

(Im at the top of the picture an the squirrel is at the bottom left of the tree in case it is hard ta see it)

Ya wont beleef what TBT did then. He participated in the hunt! REALLY, he did. And he was no dummy at it! He crept off the deck, and keeping the squirrel's attention right on him, waving his big long arms slowly at it, an crawled walked slowly towards it.

I was above, TBT was below, and the squirrel was chattering its life before its eyes...

TBT was only 3 feet away from Squirrel afore it decided to flee UP the tree. He acted like he was gonna climb the tree at the squirrel, where I was waitin. Sadly, it was aroun the back of the tree from me an I cant move sideways aroun a tree as fast as a squirrel. BUT I GOT A PAW ON IT!

I have proof! Skeeter sniffed that paw for several minutes, LC sniffed it, and TBT saw me whap it hisself... Best of all, he found a few gray furs on my paw between the toesies!

I is practically beside myself wif happiness. I is gonna get ONE of those things yet. I got so ecited I not only ate all MY dinner, I ate some of Skeeter's. He wasnt so thrilled wif that, but he dint complain. He knew it was a special day fer me. TBT actually hadda open a breakfast Fancy Feast (for Dinner) cause we were all so pumped up wif ecitement!

Why isnt there squirrel flavor cat food? Or Mousie, come ta think of it?
