Last week I noticed a rip in the top of the back cushion on the outdoor love seat. I figured that Sherbie (my outdoor kitty) had been exercising his claws on it and ripped it open, since he likes to lounge on the patio furniture. No big deal, since all the cushions need to replaced next year anyway.
This morning when I took the pooches out for their potty call after a long night's sleep, something caught my eye on the love seat. The culprit has been exposed, and now I don't have to blame the cat. It was a squirrel - and he was burrowing down inside the ripped section of the cushion, and dragging out huge pieces of the stuffing. By the time I got in to get my camera, and then back out to catch him in action, he was headed up the tree with a mouthful of the nice fluffy stuffing. I hope I can eventually get a shot of him in action!
I know some little squirrel that's going to have a nice, soft, cozy warm nest this winter!
