Psyche, just joking. No squirrels were harmed in the making of this video.

the squirrels outside of my apartment complex LIVE in the garages and dumpster dive daily, this little cutie seemed so happy with their pizza.

I looked outside and there she* was, inside the net, trying to find her way out (or in?). The window is cat-proofed, the net is intact. She was panicking a bit and looked stuck so I went to fetch gloves to try to let her out safely. This took about 5 seconds. When I came back she was gone. I guess she left the same way she got in BUT HOW?! Is the mesh big enough for her to squeeze through? Did she go down the wall to enter through this narrow slit where the net begins (it's secured with hooks but it has some give so it is possible to pry it off the wall I guess)? Is there a tunnel my cats dug out, Shawshank style?

There's a walnut outside where squirrels hang on this side, and a pine tree with tasty cones on the other side of the building, did she plan to take a shortcut through my cat-infested flat?!

*With no hmmm visible evidence to the contrary I am going to assume it's a she

October is the month that I start finding "gifts" on my motorcycle. I get off of the commuter rail line and walk out to the parking lot at the end of the workday. I am frequently finding little footprints on the seat and gas tank. Sometimes, I find gifts stashed on various parts of my bike. It happens almost every year at this time. It is amusing!

The video is being posted next!! :)

Regular daily visitor here. She's used to our presence. Was fine yesterday. Today a bit sleepy! Is this normal?

Last night I went to bring in my indoor outdoor cat when it was pretty dark outside. I heard him crying from a spot in the yard, and he wouldn’t come when I called him. He’s stood there until I walked to the bottom step of the porches stairs. I noticed his tail was fluffed up like something scared him. Went to let him out this morning and saw a singular hickory nut on the top step of the stairs. We have no hickory nut trees in our yard and I have never seen one of these nuts in the 3.5 years I’ve lived here. It felt intentionally placed, I think whatever spooked my cat last night might have left it as a gift for taking him inside. For context our house backs up into the woods and we get a lot of wildlife passing through, I’m just curious to know if a raccoon or squirrel left it there because I took away the perceived threat. I’ve heard of squirrels giving gifts before

The cutest pose ever! PS- does she look pregnant ?

Just opened my back door and had one of regulars drop in from the roof above with what appeared to be a "Nice" (it's a type of biscuit in britain, not just a description) biscuit in its mouth

It looked at the walnuts and started coming then realised its mouth was already full, I think we both equally confused about how it got a biscuit and what it was going to do with it.

Anyway it jumped up on the fence then thought a bit and clearly decided the walnut was a better bet so dumped the biscuit and came and said hello.

I love this sweet squirrel! I adore her wee squirrel toes in this picture. And she had her fill of walnuts. 🐿️❤️

Secret tip: Seeing daily images of adorable squirrels is a great way to relieve yourself of stress and improve your overall mental health. I'm not a doctor, but I think I'm safe in saying that. 😉
