As I let Zuzu out back the other morning, a squirrel jumped from our deck to a tree.
Zuzu ran down the stairs as fast as she could, and LEPT into the air and hit the tree with all four paws, about four feet off the ground and tried to climb it! Her arms fit almost far enough around the trunk to hold on, and I’m sure if her “claws” were just a little bit longer, she would have been able to.
Fortunately, she slid right down and had to be satisfied with barking ferociously up the tree at the squirrel that escaped.
The chipmunk soon after, was not so lucky. We’re not sure if Zuzu was the cause or not, but she was seen trying to get the chipmunk to play and rubbing her face on it. Jim quickly disposed of the poor critter and Zuzu got her face washed.
There were mouse traps in the basement when we moved in, and my first thought was that Koshka would have fun and put a quick end to any rodent problem that might exist. Now I’m thinking that the mice might have two hunters in the house and had really better beware!
