Great story! Skunks really do have no fear. A friend of mine was on his knees working in his backyard pond when one of his many cats walked up and nuzzled against him like cats will do. He casually reached back and scratched its head, and the cat started rubbing its head against his fingers, enjoying the attention. Then he realized, "This cat has a funny shaped head." He looked down, and sure enough, he was petting a skunk, and the skunk was thoroughly enjoying it! He stopped petting and eventually his new friend got bored and wandered off. Every time I see him I think of that story!
