Squirrel friend

Nov 2023

Several years ago a horrible cry came from the park.
A feral cat was killing a squirrel
Many people feed the cats so this made me incredibly sad
Yesterday I saw two squirrels in trees flicking their tails to signal danger or a problem
A white and gray cat was watching their every move on the trees
Ready to pounce or make her way to the tree
I stood there watching for a while hoping that the cat would leave
I hope next time I feed the squirrels that they are all safe and sound
I love animals and am involved in animal charities but this hurt my heart to view
This was survival of cruelty
