Baby Squirrel

While watering the plants this morning, a baby squirrel hopped across the yard. Looking quite startled, it climbed a tree. On the other side of the fence, two neighborhood cats (Tigger’s subordinates, no doubt) were following it across the yard, evil plans intact. Not wanting to witness the early demise of a squirrel, I sprayed the cats through the fence. They backed off temporarily, but waited at bay for their chance. Determined to protect the squirrel, possibly encourage it to travel by tree instead of grass, I stood between the two, occasionally sending a jet of water at the would be killers. The squirrel eventually realized it wouldn’t get away on the ground and moved through the trees. Good luck little buddy!
