Backyard Standoff... (Story)

[Seymore]

Caught an interesting standoff, of sorts, today... under the bird feeder.



Misty (cat) and the squirrel are almost the same size, so neither are willing to attack.
Misty is more of a feathered huntress anyhow.

And, from her garden vantage point, she saw it all!!!

This took all of 2 or 3 min... There's some to say for being in the right place at the right time!

You did a very good job with these pics Seymore :thumb:thumb and the pics and narrative were very entertaining (and humorous.....lol)


I've got all 3 types of the same furry friends in my backyard too and it's so much fun watching them interact :D
