Who do you think will win?

[trinamick]

So I was sitting on my balcony last night, pondering the meaning of life (read drinking beer & eating pizza) with my faithful cat beside me. Suddenly, I hear this chattering above me, and a twig fell on the balcony beside me. I look up to see a squirrel leaning over the peak of my roof, scolding the cat with great glee. My cat gets about double his normal size, which is enormous to begin with, and starts trying to climb the railing. Of course, Mr. Squirrel knows he is safe, so he continues to drop stuff of the roof, trying to hit the cat. Meeko was yowling and hissing, just daring the sneaky fella to come closer. Finally, Meeko was so mad and frustrated, he finally gave up and ran in the house.

I was tempted to throw the cat up on the roof just to watch the fireworks. So here's my question: in a fair fight, who do you think is more likely to win: cat or squirrel? Keep in mind, this is one big squirrel, kind of a bully squirrel. The cat is bigger, but is declawed in the front. Anybody willing to put money on it?

A healthy squirrel can be extremely viscious when cornered. I don't know if a cat could take one on. So I'll say squirrel.

My money is on one of the other wrestlers coming out and interfering with the match!:D

I think the squirrel hits the cat with a folding chair when the ref isn't looking.

Squirrels are wily.

Well, the squirrel pretty smart, but that cat is tricky too. He's the type who lays in wait for you behind the couch, and then zooms out in the dark just long enough to bat at your legs and make you piss yourself, and then hides under the bed. I'm betting he would have some diversionary tactics up his sleeve (if he were wearing clothes of course). Then again, that squirrel does have that whole leaping long distances thing going for him...and the formidable tail...

Definately squirrel.

My cat Mittens, who died two months ago Sunday, got into an altercation with a squirrel...let me just say, there was a trip to the vet for her after that. And she was one tough bitch! :D

the squirel right up till the especially wily Katrina Jirrl pulls out a wrist rocket and lets fly with a small rock she keeps for special occasions... :ewink:

AFD

[recklesshumor]

I'm going to go with the cat. Squirrels are tough little buggers, but cowardly by nature. My bet is that the squirrel runs for the hills before actual combat ensues.

Why do I keep hearing that Russian guy from Rocky and Bullwinkle in my head? "Moose and Squir-rel!"

after the squirrel decimated the cat, you would have...

:woohoo: Man, I like the way you think! :lol

My old yellow lab, as he would have hunted both of them down and brought them to me... yuchhhhh... thanks... how did you even know...

[LadyCrais]

All I can tell you is my not particularly large cat finally got hold of one the squirrels that loved to taunt him to no end, and the squirrel never had a chance. It was duly brought to me just as any pip-squeek field mouse would have been, in the same quite dead and thoroughly played with state. ;)

[grinner]

I wouldn't bet against the Cat.

[vikingscaper]

I have to go with the squirrel!

[AgentSun]

the average cat is indoors, declawed...its only danger is the food that the humans cook and the occasional screen door.

the squirrel however, grew up on the streets, in 'da hood. smart little squirrels know what to do when things need to be handled.

i bet on the squirrel. he's got his posse.

Wasn't there a thread once about a squirrel and a motorcycle driver???

Hmmmm.... I'm leaning towards the squirrel on this one. :rollin:

[trubador]

Wait a minute..... is it a "squirrel" or is it a "suqirell"??? :P

[trinamick]

:lol Well, I never asked to be sure, but I'm pretty certain he's of the "squirrel" variety. I went back out there tonight, just to watch the fireworks. That sucker dropped a strip of tape that was previously attached to the side of the vent (my landlord's lame attempt at fixing a leak). It lit right next to the cat. He did this hop, twist, spit thing in the air and got his collar stuck on the railing. I was laughing so hard I couldn't even help him get loose (calm down, folks, it's a breakaway collar). It wasn't until his butt got stuck between the railings that I realized he was going to wiggle himself backwards right off the balcony. Cats always land on their feet don't they? What about when there's a squirrel on their back? :rollin:

That mangy squirrel started running up one side of the roof and down the other, chattering like a maniac. I just wish I spoke squirrel. *"squeak squeaky squeak squeakerson"*
