air_n_darknessIt's evil, methinks. EVIL!
Yesterday, I take Yin, my big orange kitty, out for his daily walk....
yes, I have a cat who walks on a harness and lead at least once a day
...in the backyard. I knew we had some pretty energetic squirrels in the yard, because I can see them through the window in the craft room. However, I expected they would simply stay away from the dog-sized cat, and be as unobtrusive as possible.
NOT!
Yin sees Evil Squirrel&trade in tree, begins to vibrate with anticipation. Evil Squirrel&trade stares Yin down and then proceeds to cuss us both out. I mean, the squirrel was hardcore. I was seriously worried that we were going to get charged by him. Yin just sorta flattened out and growled back at the bristling, chattering mass that was Evil Squirrel&trade . Once Evil Squirrel&trade decided to advance, I tugged on the lead and convinced Yin that it was time to go inside.
We come to today. Yin is happily wandering the yard and munching grass. He spies Evil Squirrel&trade in the tree and takes off up the tree after him (well, as best he could w/ me holding on to the lead). Evil Squirrel&trade of course moves quickly out of reach and begins to laugh and point (I'm serious guys) at Yin stuck in the tree. Yin tries to go further up the tree, and I notice giant black ants swarming out of a hole in the trunk. Those giant cow ants that hurt like hell when they bite- eh, most of you know what I mean I think. I literally yank Yin out of the tree (he wasn't up high) before the ants can get on him, and boy is he pissed at me. After that he wouldn't budge; I had to pick and carry him inside, he was so mad.
And Evil Squirrel&trade? He was chattering (laughing) so hard he almost lost his balance and fell.

Our friend who's renting the garage apartment from us, has determined she must make a webcomic about my 4 fur-babies, starting with Yin and Evil Squirrel&trade . Her art, my stories. Works for me.

Date: 2006-06-10 12:24 pm (UTC)I've got a squirrel that sits on the air conditioner in my office room and talks to me through the window. :P I can get up and go right over to the window and he doesn't budge.
You know squirrels have become highly intelligent and are scheming to take over the world don't you?? At least, that's what one chapter in a conspiracy theory book I saw at Borders said, lol.
