The squirrel comes running to us when she hears the door open, and will come inside to eat peanuts and sunflower seeds while I take photos. Tigger loves to tease, but is never aggressive, and the squirrel, knowing this, will dash right past him to come in! (We also give him a treat for being nice!)
And so, over the lovely shots of the squirrel eating close by, this is a memory photo of "Tigger and his Pet Squirrel" ... or is it the other way around!
...Don't forget to VOTE for your Fave Composition-60... I'll announce a winner Wednesday!)
Reminds me of a substitute teacher (cat) and a student (squirrel) anticipating how much she can get away with. Glad they both get treats in the end. So sweet. Great capture.
@pamknowler No need to purchase toys for him! @bluemoon Squirrels will lay out the boundaries and cats comply...as do the crows when the standoff is for the peanuts I throw into the yard! @joysfocus I should hope! @peekysweets We get such a kick out of watching these two! @robz This neurotic cat has no "kill instinct"! Killing, anyway, is not allowed, which is why my yard-animal photos are tagged "peaceable Kingdom"! @swillinbillyflynn Wishing you and Kitty a "Peaceable Kingdom", too, but you should get rid of the knives, guns and cannon! (great video!) @365projectorgchristine@joansmor@corinnec@photographycrazy@amyk@ljmanning@kwind@boxplayer@casablanca@wakelys@seattlite Thank you all for sharing a laugh over this silly moment!
And one last reminder to vote for a composite-60 image!
Cute fun photo. Our last cat was a good ol' boy and was friends with all the wildlife in the backyard. Squirrels, turkeys, deer, chipmunks were all his pals. Our current kitty, Gracie, is a little lioness. A hunter and a killer.
Looks like a standoff.
