I had to work at keeping him from crawling into my bra (goofball). I guess he really like a warm cozy place.
Wow you nursed a squirrel back to health! You are too good. LOL There are many squirrels in my neighborhood because there are few loose predators. They have eaten through my roof rafters many many times; they bed in the gutters around my garage; pregant females nest in my doorwells and they generally are a constant nuisance.
One day when my cat was a wee young'em & we were sitting outside, he tried chasing a pair of courting squirrels up a tree but he didn't get far up the tree. The male squirrel had the audacity to came back out and look at us as if he was challenging us. I thought what cahoonas (sp?) this male squirrel must have. Some days I wish there were a bird of prey or two in the neighborhood just to thin the squirrel population out. One falcon stopped through but didn't stay long.
Oh well, I know I never would have nursed one back to health. You are so so kind. Smile.
