Why would a squirrel lick a window screen?
Little gray squirrel has been bopping around my front deck and climbing up the kitchen windows the last couple days. Have chased it off more than few times. This morning I observed it clinging to the window screen and fervently licking it. Banged the window but it was back in a few minutes doing it again. I stormed out the front door and stomped my feet on the deck, "get outta my yard and stay out!!"
Haven't seen it since. Hope it stays away, I hate squirrels, but still wondering WTF!?

:idunno about that, but once at a rental in Cape May a squirrel chewed through a screen to get at some freshly baked cookies.

I can see that.

No cooking going on here.....and that window is never open.
I had a cat hanging out right at one of the kitchen windows once a few years ago, but window was open and there was some ground beef thawing on the counter near it.

I worried a bit about it trying to chew the screen but nope just very methodically licking, leaving saliva clinging to the mesh.
Just so weird.
 
Good morning Cafè. Coffee is ready.

The boys are all getting big. This morning I heard the little black one try to crow. He and the white one have been sparring the most while the lavender one just watches on the outskirts. So I think I've got my ranking right there. I'll try to keep the lavender as long as he behaves himself with Fabio.
But ultimately, I know I'm going to have to rehome him because the peace never lasts for that long.
