Squirrel Mafia update...

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. :)

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!
