Carnivorous squirrel

[Hkindiana]

I have eight squirrels that come to my back door every day to eat corn, milo, and sunflower seed, and they have NEVER messed with my cat food in 15 years. However, this year, one of them loves to chow down on cat food - the meatier the better. I don’t mean just tasting, but eating the whole bowl. Has anyone else ever seen a carnivorous squirrel?

I have heard of squirrels raiding birds nests and eating eggs and even baby birds. Haven’t seen it first hand though.

Squirrels are basically rats with better clothes. Like rats they are opportunistic omnivores.

That is just nuts.

I saw a few eating cicadas this last time they came up.

Like rats they are opportunistic omnivores.

Many animals that we think of as plain ol' herbivores are opportunistic omnivores.

Cows...deer...horses...

...sheep. In some places with no calcium in the soil, sheep have been know to carefully eat out the foot joints of ground-nesting seabirds to get calcium from their bones. They don't usually kill the nestlings, but render them paraplegic. Those sheep are mean bastards.

Better take care of that problem. In a few months the next generation will be trained and you'll have 20 of them.

I look forward to the 20

Makes me thing of some punk I saw in Carmel a while back that didn't know how to pull his pants up over his ***.

I wonder how the meat of a meat eating squirrel tastes.

Extra meaty with a nutty finish

Poor thing probably ate some cannabis edibles and will go on a shooting spree soon.

Like Cat food (probably)

The edible was probably laced though.
