Worried Mama
Image by climbnh2003
Hunter and his cousin were exploring an area they call the clay pit when they stumbled across two newborn flying squirrels. They brought them home fearing that they had been abandoned but upon further scouting, found the nest. We went to return them and discovered that the snag the squirrels had been living in had blown over last night in the wind storm. The mother was still in the area but the nest was a shambles. These pics are mostly of the mama squirrel and we hope that she is able to get her young to the hole in the snag in the last picture of the set.

Baby Blues

This little guy at the pet fair still has his baby blues in his eyes, but you can see them starting to change color. He was digging into his blanket a moment before this picture so I asked him what he was doing and was rewarded with this priceless "oops, did I do something wrong?" expression. A moment later he was rolling around, purring and kneading the air, now that he had someone's attention. I'm not sure if he got a name yet - we wanted to name him Squirrel but the "cat lady" in charge had objections against that. *LOL*
Kitten season has definitely started for this summer. This one was too young yet to get neutered, so he went into foster care until he has had his "snip" and can go up for adoption. Just a reminder for all those of you with cats out there: please spay and neuter your cats, especially if you let them wander outside!
