Squirrel

Please meet and greet today’s Star Kit, Squirrel. He is 2 years old from Rochester, Minnesota.

Squirrel

Meet Squirrel. The name comes from the fact that he loves to climb, and will at least try to climb anything. The higher he can get, the happier he is. Squirrel was living in the garden equipment area and parking lot of a Walmart, when I first saw him. He was about three months old, and full of boundless energy. But, he didn’t trust people.

It took nearly a month to win his confidence enough for me to pick him up and take him home … where he almost immediately decided that this was home and he liked it — particularly the unending supply of food. Despite his name, his favorite food is cheese. It doesn’t matter what kind, nor whether you offer him any or not. He’ll try to get it for himself. So, you have to be careful around this little bandit.

The black blur at the left of the laundry basket is Tribble, who was displeased that Squirrel (then 5 months) had decided he was in charge of the laundry. Still, they got along well. But, Squirrel was cat number four, and my lease says three. So, after a couple of months Squirrel made the long drive to Minnesota where he now has a forever home with a special friend of mine, her older cat Milano, and Pyewacket, an earlier rescue of mine. This is quite fitting, since the two have a great deal in common, including the area where they were both found.

Squirrel is now two years old, and I am told that he has added lots of excitement to his forever home. Everything has to be examined, everywhere explored, and anything climbable climbed, as well as having two other cats to keep on their toes. Plus, he and Pyewacket take their laundry responsibilities very seriously.
