squirrels and cats

[mdenning]

My cat has just been up a tree after a squirrel. Went straight out to make sure he didn't get him but the squirrel was asleep on the branch (6.30pm). The cat was making a beeline for the squirrel tried to wake the squirrel gently to get out of the way - it took a lot before he moved. Do you think the squirrel was OK.

Squirrel probably knew he'd win, in a straight fight!

Yes, they're not as dopey as they sometimes look. And not only are they agile but they have fiersome teeth !

thanks everyone - thought he might be injured or poisoned because he didn't seem frightened of either me or the cat!!
