THE FEMALE SQUIRREL AND A GREEN-EYED CAT

I love to see squirrels in my garden.  The other day a female squirrel visited with the intention of having a free lunch in peace but spots me through the kitchen window, taking photos. 








Squirrel has seen me

The squirrel decides I'm safe enough and swings easily upside down to access the husked sunflower seeds in the bird feeder. 






Squirrel decides I'm safe and starts to feed


Something has put the squirrel on the alert.  It jumps onto the top of the shed for a look around.


 




The squirrel is agitated and thrashes its tail

It jumps off the shed and onto the bordering fence.  It seems that, at this point, it has not yet spotted what has put it on the alert.  It's looking the wrong way.

The squirrel sits up for a better look around.  She looks like she's had babies.


 




on the lookout


It's no good looking at me, I'm not the threat.  The cat is.


 




A beautiful green-eyed cat appears on the shed


The squirrel dashes for the relative safety of a nearby tree and the cat, surprisingly, goes off in another direction.
