https://www.vetnurse.co.uk/f/nonclinical-discussions/17607/squirrel-s-bane I just wanted to check with lots of other animal-type folks about cats catching squirrels! We have a client who&#39;s ex-stray (very independant, but now very affectionate) who has started hunting squirrels. He&#39;s had a least 3 in the last 2 weeks anden-USTelligent Community 10https://www.vetnurse.co.uk/thread/130557?ContentTypeID=1Tue, 08 May 2012 22:22:34 GMT1a0763ec-3885-442c-853e-6cef656dfec5:22151368-7030-4fff-948a-42f27e3192d8Sal the 1st<p>Mo has had a couple of squirrels in the last 3 yrs - and still has the scars, he had had a bit of a nibble on one of them but didnt really bother with the second.
