Light Grey Velvet Gloves
We have outside squirrels. Some people feed outside cats; we feed outside squirrels. Actually, we once had an inside squirrel, but that adventure is another story.
Now that we are luring these rodents (specifically the Sciurus carolinensis) onto our deck, we can more closely scrutinize them. Aside from the negative rumor that they are rabies-carrying rats with long tails, we’d say they are swell. (Of course, we continue to keep a door between us and their teeth.) Honestly, they are quite attractive. Did you ever notice that their abdomens are very bright white? How do they keep themselves that clean, scurrying up and down suburban birdfeeders? And, their front paws have the most delicate fingers covered by soft-looking grey fur – it looks like kid gloves.
Being the fashion mavens that they are, they also wear matching socks with toes! Next time you see one, check it out.

I’m afraid we have lost our love for squirrels. In our area we sometimes call them ground squirrels. They’re not as cute and they eat the nuts from our trees before we get a chance.
I’m glad someone loves them. For me, they’re just a nuisance.
I am sorry to hear about the greedy ways of your squirrels. I feel slightly the same way about our rabbits. I still think they are cute, but…. I would be willing to share some of my garden vegetables with them, but they do not understand that they are supposed to LEAVE a few for me!
