This was amusing to watch!
The squirrel is not intimidated at all. He even seems to
tease Jack and Shadow, taunting them by charging at them
and swishing his big fluffy tail!
There's no sneaking....both parties are quite up front about it all.
The cats don't have a chance....that squirrel just goes high into
the tree when they get too close and the branches are too small
to support those cats. He seems to snicker and scamper off, leaving
them looking quite foolish. He lets them get pretty close,
though, doesn't he?

Wonderful candid shots. :)
ReplyDeleteCertainly entertaining! :)
DeleteOh my goodness! This is hilarious Betsy!! What a shots!! I love your cats but at the same time I love Cyril (or his baby or which ever of the squirrel family that is) as well :-) Cyril is really a teaser! hahaha ...
ReplyDeleteHe certainly was teasing! They were almost nose to nose at one point and Cyril was coming at them! haha. He looked like he was having so much fun. Very fun to watch!
DeleteAieee! Too close for comfort. Well my comfort, anyway. :-)
ReplyDeleteI just looked out the window a minute ago and there were 4 cats in the tree. haha. Squirrel way too high for them to reach. lol...
DeleteHa! You have a never-ending source of entertainment!
DeleteThat is totally true! haha.
Deletelol . . . what a tease he is . . . but I expect they like it . . :)
ReplyDeleteThey look like a pride of little black lions stalking their prey . . . one almost imagines another to cut off the escape and ambush at the rear . . . . I've been watching a few lion documentaries lately . . . :)
Great shots Betsy . . .
I think they are all having great fun!
DeleteBetsy: "Look out! They're behind you!"
ReplyDeleteCyril: "Oh not, they're not".
Audience: "Oh yes, they are!"
Cyril: "Oh no, they're not!"
Audience: "Oh yes, they're not!" Cyril, confused, runs up the tree, and all's well that ends well, goodnight children.
[Apologies to the British Pantomime Association.]
haha....I hope he continues to evade capture!
DeleteSquirrels are so fast, unless he makes a wrong move, your kitties won't have a chance...lol
ReplyDelete~Jo
I agree....I'm not worried about him...and he goes up, not down...and they
Deletecan't compete with that!
Oh my gosh, the cats got really close. You can see the determination on their faces. I was going to say that the squirrel must have been really hungry to let the cats get so close before reading that he taunts them. I would have definitely been entertained!
ReplyDeleteThey do get really close! And there have been times the squirrel was chasing the cats! They scamper across the roof and jump into the trees..it's hilarious!
DeleteSilly squirrel!
ReplyDeleteCheers!
Linda :o)
They're all silly! haha.
DeleteFunny! You have all sorts of entertainment just outside the window!
ReplyDeleteThat is so true....never a dull moment!
DeleteWhat do you charge per hour, per cat? It's squirrel chaos here!
ReplyDeletehaha....what's wrong with your doggie? He must like to watch through the window, too. haha.
DeleteHi Betsy - I was about to say pack-hunting .. but perhaps bi-pack hunting is better! Wonderful shots, but as you say the squirrel is well ahead of the cat-pack ... cheers Hilary
ReplyDeleteWell, later in the day there were four cats in that tree, so I think Pack-hunting is
Deletea good word for it!
lmao two on one
ReplyDeleteAnd he still won
Taught the kitties a thing or two
And had some fun at your zoo
Squirrels are teasing little sobs though
One teases the 2 dogs here on the go
They certainly tease
Deletewith their tail in the breeze.
Taunting the cats
and laughing at that.
Great action shots. The squirrels in my garden do the same with my little dog. They are quick movers and my dog doesn't stand a chance of catching one,...but he tries time and again.:)
ReplyDeleteI suppose it's good exercise for our pets and amusement for us watching. haha.
DeleteHa, lovely to see them having games.
ReplyDeleteIsn't it? I thought it was great fun!
DeleteThat is a very brave squirrel to taunt the cats that way! He must feel very possevive about "his" bird feeders--lol!
ReplyDeleteHe is very brave! And he seems to enjoy the taunting! haha...he intimidates the birds,
Deletetoo...eating their seed!
They look really dangerous... like wild panthers
ReplyDeletehaha...I bet they think they are really something...brave wild cats! haha.
Deletelove this post....but then I love all your post....have a wonderful weekend Betsy. I am off to a show for the weekend. Wish me good luck on the selling side. :)
ReplyDeleteBest of luck...I hope it's a wonderful weekend! I sure loved what I saw and I know buyers will be there!
