Every once in awhile I like to put out something challenging for the squirrels to deal with. One of their favorite foods is sliced avocados. Here is what happened when I put out the large avocado seed the other day. This little guy was apparently very excited by his find and very determined to take his big nut to safety!
It appears that Bit is engaged in a game of hide and seek. I can almost hear him counting!
Bit was actually grooming himself when I caught this shot, licking his paws and rubbing his face. I never realized until recently how many similarities there are between cats and squirrels. Their grooming habits appear quite similar. Squirrels will also stretch out and sunbathe like cats. And they often play like kittens, chasing each other and hopping about. They are so much fun to watch! My own version of reality TV – but way better!
