Went to let the Lynk out tonight and found a surprise on the back porch with its head in the dog food dish. I held the cat back and it quickly went down the steps and, much to my surprise, instead of leaving by the quickest hole under the fence it climbed a tree next to the porch.
I let Lynx out and she didn't care. I let Maggie and Oreo out and they went around smelling the ground getting more and more excited as they smelled more and more scent. Finally, since neither had the brains to look up, I said "squirrel" which slowly soaked through 
Maggie's head. She finally looked up and after about 2o sec of looking began to get excited. She finally got so excited she jumped up onto the bench on the porch, which is next to about a 15 foot drop. This is when she finally realized where she was.

Poor Maggie... somewhere her hunting instincts got lost. Here in Collegedale it would have been a skunk instead of a possum.
that's hilarious. i bet she just thinks it's a big squirrel with some kind of tail problem. jaclyn - i don't think skunks climb trees ;)
