" Of all things to steal, they steal people’s Doritos, the squirrels."

They are recognizable by their bad acne problem.

I've got a pear tree in my back yard, and when the pears start to ripen all the squirrels in the vicinity come into the yard to get them. My big Sheltie waits quietly for them and chases them off when they get too close. On a couple of occasions he's caught one, but spat it right back out.

Squirrels are definitely cute.

[Telepathic Intruder]

Rats are scavengers. Squirrels are not. There.

[GnuThere]

Ah! So they DON’T steal food; they steal Doritos.

My dog killed a squirrel. Just caught him and shook him in his jaws til the poor thing was dead.

My sister lets these squirrels into her home where they chew the electrical cords and scratch everything.
She thinks they’re cute.

I like squirrels (my husband’s Granny, from England, called them ‘Squee-rels’).

But they can become very bold and aggressive if they are used to being fed and then at some point the food is not forthcoming...

Be careful: it’s very unlikely, but *possible*, that a squirrel can carry rabies: I learned this when I encountered one who ‘bit the hand that fed him’ :-)

...“They’re nothing but tree rats. They’re nothing but rats with PR. They’re just rats..

Oh, No. They are rats with fancy tails.

[Reily]

Ask her is she thinks hemorrhagic fevers are cute?
Like the Hanta virus.

[oldasrocks]

Maybe we’ll get lucky and they will start a plague out there.

[Persevero]

They are edible...

[CaliforniaCraftBeer]

[Albion Wilde]

Squirrel bites can carry rabies. No fun.

[where's_the_Outrage?]

[Crucial]

Squirrel crime will surge!

[Crucial]

So squirrels can develop a deadly sense of entitlement. Hmmm...

is your sister bat-s**t crazy?

I had a chipmunk that got into our living room while were we were doing some remodeling. Three days it took us to get him out. He had water in the kitchen, dog food and lots of places to hide. Heck, he had a new habitat which he adapted to with no problems.

Depends on what you mean by "scavenger". I've seen a squirrel devour live baby birds - emptied the nest right out while fending off the parent birds' attacks. Like a 3-D horror film, right outside the picture window.

I'd seen predators kill before, but something about that scene with the squirrel was much worse.

Squirrels are just rats with better PR
