I never gave much thought to squirrels till I moved to our Ottawa neighborhood. But now we live among them!
From these pictures posted online on Ottawa "Reddit" - I see that I'm not the only one - at times amused - at times annoyed! - by their antics.
Squirrels don't miss much - and they're always ready to make our stuff their own... as this Reddit contributor shows! (Maybe that's the law of nature!)
I've had tomatoes picked from vines, bitten into, then left to lie on the ground. I've had tulip flowets bitten into. I assume it was a squirrel.
One summer, in my early years in the neighborhood, I (foolishly) left a steaming hot cake on an outdoor table to cool - because I didn't want to heat up the house.
I returned a minute or two later to find a squirrel sitting IN THE CAKE - undeterred by the steam rising all around him as he gobbled the cake up as fast as he could!
I learned my lesson that day: Leave NO food unattended outdoors!
