Love the “Black and White Kitties” I worked at a camp in the Pocono mountains. Had a family of skunk under my cabin. They wanted to remove them, but I said NO. Met papa skunk on the trail each evening. Gave him respect as he just looked at me and then waddled off. No one got skunked that summer except one counselor that did not listen, to not startle them. LOLHe wound up getting bathed in tomato juice. It didn’t help much.
I had to have the fire department (with the ladder) come rescue my cat who was about 60 feet up in a tree being attacked by crows. They were great. No charge but gave them $200.00 in gift cards to go shopping. I see them at my local market.
Is there any hope for Francis? Unfortunately, I know someone with a son in the same position.
