Squirrel Mafia update...

[telophase]

I woke up in an interesting manner - there was an odd noise, like maybe hail, or something strange in the dryer, and the cat shot off the bed and ran into the living room. I followed, to see what the hell it was. The only thing I could think of was maybe it was hail, falling in an oddly sporadic manner (hey, I'd only woken up about ten seconds before). I peeked out the blinds, to be confronted with the belly of Luigi the squirrel at eye level as he climbed headfirst down my window screen - the noise was his claws against the window.

He jumped off and stared at the cat and I for a second, then scampered away, no doubt cursing us thoroughly in squirrel. The half-squirrel is still outside, looking very damp and much the worse for wear.

ETA: He attempted the window again as I was walking out the door, so I hurriedly grabbed the camera and snapped one fuzzy shot of his belly. I'll put it up tonight when I get home - it's finals week and thus I had to get to work ASAP so I could find a parking place. :)

He's trying to find a way in! It's like a horror movie where the killer bides their time until you let your guard down, then they're there in all their furry squirrel evilness!

I KNOW! I'll be jumpy now, waiting for the noise of claws on the window.

Aw man...were any of them mortally offended?

Perhaps that was how the half-squirrel perished.

If you can find a way to get Luigi here, perhaps he will die (like so many other squirrels do) in the mechanical room of the library.

Or if that doesn't happen, he will have a chance to:
a) run loose on the ceiling tiles (in the false ceilings) throughout the library
b) run loose in the AV room on the lower level (next to the mechanical room)
c) run loose on the main floor until caught by students, or
d) make a nest in my car and destroy more wiring.

I'm getting to really hate squirrels.

Luigi is obviously courting your kitty and can't figure out why she isn't responding to his generous gift. Or else he's got a thing for you. Heh.

BAAACK

He's after you! You are a witness to squirrel weirdness - he's trying to get in. (Hope you don't have a fireplace.)

The really scary thing is, why haven't the neighborhood cats made off with the half-a-squirrel? It must be that they're terrified of Luigi!
