Oh, I LOVE my squirrel! We used to have four, but Chunkella has evicted the others. :twisted: She has her own feeder that she empties in about two days. When it's empty, she'll sit out there and drop the top so it bangs and looks at the house. If she does not get the desired response, she will come over to the porch and look in through the slider, obviously displeased with her empty tummy. If she gets real desperate, she will climb the dog run to eat the suet cake, but she's a bit pudgy, so it's difficult for her to balance.
As for the cats, Tippy Troy expends only enough energy to walk to the cat feeder-there will be no catching dinner for him. Uglette, the female is grey with a bit of orange. Her first introduction to Chunkella was when she was about six months old-about as big as Chunkella. She was wandering the yard, and came too close to the feeding tree. Thinking she was another squirrel, Chunkella flew down the tree and chased her across the yard, scolding the entire time. Ug just has to hear the scolding start up and she is GONE. :shock:
I do have bird feeders up too, but our little birds are mostly black and brown. I've never had the squirrels bother the feeders that hang from my house.
