Well not anymore, clearly...

I'd like to applaud everyone for so far not asking whether it was a REAL squirrel, a joke I thought I'd surely see in the first few replies.

Also, Todd's head went all explody. He's not coming 'round to anyone's pad for a while.

Anyway, this is not crap because it's not like you could've done much to prevent it. Squirrels get into things, and cats are predatory by nature. Nature ran its course. Sometimes it's ugly, but hey! What the fuck!

Hey, I know this is a bit of fun and if things happen naturally then, OK. But, there's something a little wrong with 'letting' your, animal kill another animal when there's something could be done to avoid it, especially whilst you appear to derive some pleasure from the event.

A baby squirrel? Fuck sake.

If you don't want this to happen, you should not own a predatory animal as a pet. Am I wrong for enjoying the fact that, in previous houses, the resident cat was an excellent mouser? Or that my venus flytrap eats insects? I enjoy both of these things immensely, because they make my life easier and my extermination bills nonexistent.

Animals are going to do what they know to do. In some cases, this is to eat other animals. If you think you can do something to avoid it, in some cases you can, but as it is the natural way it will inevitably happen without your involvement at some point.

TDF, give your cat a treat and pet him on the head. He is fulfilling his purpose.

If there were a tax to give everyone in NYC access to broadband wifi, or unlimited education, or fund arts centers to let kids/old people play ICP/Onyx/Anne Murray/String Cheese Incident covers all day, I'd pay it.

If you've got a squirrel running around your house - baby, elderly, preteen - show no mercy.

It's kind of fulfilling to see a housecat hunt something down. I mean, it's basically in captivity and wants to hunt anyway.

fuck it. there's not a shortage of squirrels. and i didn't wanna get bit. nor have to try and catch a lightning fast fucking squirrel.

you know what else? i kill every bug that gets inside. spiders. centipedes. gnats. mosquitos. ants.

in other squirrel news: i just found out about a family of albino squirrels in the northside of the city. how awesome is that?

if it was an albino baby squirrel the cat would've gone hungry.

you did what you should have, I mean, all the squirrels are on crack

you can't be living with crack dealers/users now can you?

Sometimes I get shit for "letting" my 2 Huskies kill vermin in the backyard.

I once tried to stop the alpha female from stomping a bunny. When I finally got to her and the bunny, she was already entering the intestinal area with her claws. As I pulled the bunny away from my dog, my dog sucked out the small intestine as if it were spaghetti. She even made the same slurpy slurp sound some of us pig like humans make when the tail end of the spaghetti passes your sucker valve.

Yeah right, try stopping that kill from happening.
