I have a bird feeder / cat entertainment device hanging on a hook outside the kitchen window, just far enough under the eaves that squirrels can't quite manage the leap--although I admit, it's gotta be a tough one: first they have to hang upside down by their hind feet on the edge of the roof, then they fall headfirst, two floors. Oh, look, it's raining squirrels. We're on a major squirrel overpass too (roof across the street, get on vent pipe, leap to elm, leap to next elm, down on my roof, across roof to oak in backyard...). For revenge, they uproot my succulents and replant good solid crops acorns and sunflower seeds in all the tiny pots. . -- "Everyone wants Mr. Toad's Wild Ride!" (Mallrats)
