She’s learning the facts of wild life.

She needs to hire Peek-a-boo to guard the puhngkin.

Run little guy, RUN!!

Agh! Bad squirrel! BAD, BAD, BAD, SQUIRREL!!!!!!!

Squirrels eat pumpkins?

I’m surrounded by oak trees, and lots of squirrels. I have never seen the squirrels go after the Halloween pumpkins.An abundance of acorns may be the reason for that. Has anybody here had the little buggers go after a pumpkin?

I didn’t see that until I moved north. (Squirrels get really dark and big up here.) To keep them away a little hot sauce placed on carved openings.

Mimi feed Peekaboo and have her around to chase away the squirrels or another kitten. Either way would be very cute to see that interaction.

Darn squirrels eating my pecans as we read…

When I was a kid, the big problem was with punk kids who would grab the pumpkin off your front stoop and smash it just for “fun.”

yea squirrels eat pumpkins; i grow them organically every couple of yrs to give them something to eat over winter besides nuts they go hog wild over that

In Florida, the squirrels never went after the pumpkins, but smaller organisms did. Once I left a pumpkin on the ping-pong table too long, and it juiced up where it was sitting and left a permanent pucker on the table’s surface. I also dropped a superannuated pumpkin, and it splatted into a pancake.

They like the seeds.

I just love the look one Mimi’s face, poor baby.
