For your sake, I hope so too!!! But then, what do we do about those pestilential "tree rats," the squirrels, which routinely deprive my cherished woodpeckers (many species) of their suet???
Not to mention, recently we realized that we have bobcats in our backyard from time to time....
City people probably cannot appreciates such things....
We've had this place in the country for about 10 years now; and have encountered lots of critters!
The chipmunks were devouring the wifes flowers; until we had a scrawny little kitty show up about the 3rd year. he was the Abraham of our gaggle of barn cats now!
Chip & Dale's descendants have VANISHED, but the big squirrels are still with us.
I've trapped groundhogs, skunks (Only got partially sprayed once), innumeral raccoons, and yes, barn cats!
Coyotes are in the area and I've seen (and chased) them off the property.
