My cats brought in a juvenile squirrel the day before yesterday. I'm not sure where it spent its first night in our house, or the day yesterday, but at some point last night it made its way into our bedroom. I know this because I felt something small jump up on the bed, get on my pillow, then as soon as I shifted it was gone and I heard rustling in the closet. I woke up my husband and he checked and sure enough the little squirrel was trying to get as high up in the closet as it could.

We happen to have a humane trap that my father in law had gotten to trap some raccoons. So I set it up in the bedroom with a plate full of nuts. I'm hoping the little guy is hungry and will take the bait, so I can release him back outside where he belongs.
