Now... my Tom cat was very grateful and brought my a couple gifts last night.. he’d been hunting. I know no one wants to celebrate the loss of 1 more gopher ( except me ?) but I did get to rescue an adorable flying squirrel. He promptly brings me his catch bedside and then proceeds to meowl very loudly until I acknowledge him. The second time around, when he meowled, his catch ran!!! So I jumped up and quickly flipped the lights... and the chase ensued. I had to grab the cat first, and then while holding the cat, grab a wash rag to catch the critter. I’m sure I made an interesting picture jumping and grabbing all over from the bedroom into the living room, but I finally caught the little booger who thankfully was no worse for his adventure. He was released in to the big oak and will hopefully be more cautious where he feeds at night..
