And Then Along Comes A Cat

Two squirrels were happily enjoying a snack of apples until a cat showed up. I didn't see the cat coming, but knew something was up when he quit holding and eating the apple.
update since some are wondering: Then the squirrel was off in a flash with the apple in his mouth. The cats never catch the squirrels.
