I will confess to having fed them a few summers in a row, but stopped once I saw that my neighbor's cat was preying on them right on my porch! They hide out in my raised garden beds in the winter and then live all around the outside in the summer. Many end up flat in the road. AND THEY ALL LOOK ALIKE. We call them all "Chippie"..... they are darling, until you've had one enter your house and then try to get out. They can create such a mess. They usually end up in a toilet or some awful place like that - if they enter a vacation home off season or cottage. Again, bad survival skills shine right through.
