#ChipmunkSaga, revisited… day 12

The house-munk may be out in the silo field, but there is a happy scampering #chipmunk running around my back porch, peering in the windows and generally looking pleased with itself

The cat is completely uninterested

Day 5: a happy ending

The #chipmunk is now in the field

My kitchen has been disinfected

My cat looks lonely

An update on the #chipmunk saga:

After a couple of sessions of running around the kitchen trying to corner the chipmunk in the bin, my son and I convinced the chipmunk to leave via the front door.

I was very pleased.

Four hours later, it was back.

Comfortable climate? Check. Food available? Check. Predators? Not to make note of.

I guess a few daily rounds of athletic exercise with the humans are an acceptable cost for free rent!

#Chipmunk #ChipmunkSaga #CatFail

kitty, who regularly brings me mice and voles, has apparently decided that a chipmunk is sufficiently large to be classed as a "fellow house mammal."

She shows ZERO interest in helping the chipmunk to re-home out in the great outdoors. I think she thinks that it, like her, is an indoor/outdoor critter

Sigh.

Once again this is why we NEVER attempt to transport cats before at least two coffees. #CatFail
