Stupid squirrels

A squirrel got into the chimney. This led to much amusement among our cats while they watched it through the glass, and much stress for my wife who worried it would get out.

I was at work, and my suggestions of how she could do to resolve the issue. My favorite suggestion was to build a ring of boxes blocking off the fireplaces, open the fireplace doors, and drop in one of our cats for gladiatorial combat. Strangely this suggestion was not well received.

When I got home we barricaded the cats in the bedroom and blocked all exits from the room except the front door. All the moving boxes we have around came in handy. She opened the front door, I opened the chimney glass, and tried to get the little sucker in a net with no luck.

Thankfully I was able to use a broom handle to get him out of the fireplace, and he managed to find the way out.

I sent this picture along with the suggestion. She was unamused.

We have three cats; two of them even have teeth. Why did I have to do anything was my question.

I do not know where that GIF came from, but I find the acting in that one second utterly unconvincing.

You better watch who you call stupid. We have a squirrel mod here who knows the dreaded hammerhead fistpunch technique. It's better to be annoyed than to be a cloud of bloody mist where a person used to be, so watch out!

HHFP really seems intent on being a pain in the ass.

Uh-oh, hopefully he understands I’m merely expressing frustration with the situation and would never besmirch his bushy tailed brethren.

I’ll just be hiding in the corner just incase.

A squirrel got into the chimney.

Perhaps I’m missing something, but wouldn’t starting a fire give the squirrel adequate motivation to turn around and go right back out?

Sadly the flue is in horrible shape so the fireplace is merely decorative. It would’ve either motivated him to leave or given me a well done  squirrel appetizer.
