stray cats can be pests but the squirrels are taring up my stuff. I use to love squirrels but lately they just aggravate the crap out of me and as long as the mice don't come in my house I don't care about them but I think between the cat and big snake living under my neighbors pool is why we don't have mice. Trust me I am the one who cried in the first of spring when a squirrel fell out of my tree and died I felt so bad for it
