[geeks] Cats and Squirrels

[Brian Dunbar]

Depends on the cat, I think.  I'm no expert - this is from observation ..

My mother has had two house cats in the past twenty years.

The first one would laze on the patio and watch the passing scene.

The second was a terror to the local wildlife: small bunnies,
squirrels, mice, a mole, all fell to his claws and fangs for over
fifteen years.

He slowed down a bit after he turned fifteen, died at the ripe age of
nineteen.

Both were shorthairs - tabby cats..  Killer-Of-Critters appeared to be
domestic short hair mixed with Siamese, which may have accounted for
his temperament.
