How long did you have your skunk? What was his/her name? (I would’ve called him “Stinky.” That’s what my grandparents named all their cats. When they had multiple cats, there was Stinky #1, Stinky #2, etc. It did get confusing when the cats didn’t depart in the order they came; additionally, they were all grey with stripes. Didn’t seem to bother my grandparents or the cats, though.)
My daughter had a cat named Stinky. He was grey with stripes too.
A friend and I were both riding my horse when we found the skunk. I named him Pepe La Pew. The next day I got his bag squeezed so my mom let me keep him, but he was so busy he drove her nuts, lol. I kept him over two years, then I left home and moved to another town, so I gave him to my friend that was with me when we found him. I liked the look on guests face when they were greeted by a skunk, LOL.
My neighbor leaves cat food out for their cats and the skunk feeds on that... shaking head.
