Oops!

A loss of balance would have been disastrous for the squirrel as two cats were waiting on the ground below, quivering with excitement. It's part of an ongoing drama where cats stalk squirrels and squirrels taunt cats. So far no injuries or loss of life.

It’s great fun to watch squirrels taunting dogs too!

Fabulous capture of him on top of this post. Not easy to do because they don’t stay in one place very long at all normally, although I imagine the cats below had something to do with that.

What a cool squirrel with the white on it and big bushy tail.

Wow- bold squirrels to taunt cats. When we had our feral cat problem the squirrels made themselves scarce if one came in the yard! Good shot!
