Reading this story reminded me of a squirrel a neighbor had been feeding.
One morning she ran out of food and had left a bare feeder. That little squirrel actually got down on the deck, marched over to the window and began tapping on the glass to get attention.
“FEED ME NOW!”
My mom thought it was hysterical.
“That little squirrel actually got down on the deck, marched over to the window and began tapping on the glass to get attention.”
LOL! That’s how I tamed a very feral little cat one time. She started out very wild, living in a parking lot by an office building. I couldn’t look her in the eye or she would bolt. Just like a true wild animal. She was terribly thin, so I started leaving her food every afternoon. One afternoon I was about an hour late ... and when I arrived, she marched out of the bushes, not only looked me right in the eye but glared, and said, “Meee-OW!” (Meaning, where the hell is my dinner?)
That was the beginning of our connection ... took me a year after that to tame her, but she became the sweetest little companion I ever had. For 12 years she rode around on Mama’s shoulder. I still miss my little Georgina so much.
So ... that is a happy story ... but what self-respecting human wants to be a tamed kitty riding around on someone’s shoulder? Hm?
