Aggravating Squirrel

Frustration!

Back on August the 16th (I love how the iphone dates the pictures without having to put nasty numbers on the photo itself) I noticed Apricot being very intense at the window, so I came over to see.

Here was a squirrel. A very calm squirrel who cared not a whit about the cat in the window. He (the squirrel) was eating the dogwood fruit. I guess it's fruit. Little red ovoids that grow in the dogwood tree. He'd go get one and then come back to perch somewhere on that branch you see him on, and eat it right in front of Apricot.

And Apricot actually wasn't frustrated. He wasn't chittering at the window like frustrated cats do. He was just very interested in the squirrel. I think he would have liked to invite the squirrel in to play. Like he played with the mouse, with no intention of hurting it or killing it.

Upshot of Apricot watching the squirrel.

So we both watched the squirrel for a while, very companionably.
