Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / May 2006Persia is fascinated!
There's a young Starling right outside the window and it's a young one, cheeping and scratching around the pine needles and stuff for bugs and worms. It's a talkative bird, too, yak, yak yak; even got Peaches chirping!. Persia is staring out the window as though someone glued her butt to the floor :) Jill >There's a young Starling right outside the window and it's a young one, >cheeping and scratching around the pine needles and stuff for bugs and [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > >Jill WE GOT SKWERLS TOODAY!!!!!!!!!!!!

The only critters of this nature I know well are "opussums" and "raccoons". 'Possums are kinda ratlike-looking and very antisocial, generally, but in our experience harmless. Raccoons, OTOH, have a *lotta* nerve, are very intelligent (I'd swear they can reason) and can do limited damage in large numbers (even though cute, you don't wanna make pets of them, it just doesn't work out well). >>>> There's a young Starling right outside the window and it's a young >>>> one, cheeping and scratching around the pine needles and stuff for [quoted text clipped - 20 lines] > limited damage in large numbers (even though cute, you don't wanna > make pets of them, it just doesn't work out well). Dey aren't da same fing as woodchuks. Woodchuks are big. Chipmunks are smaller dan skwerls and dey have stripies down dere baks and short little tayles. http://tinyurl.com/o6v36 Mommy helped me wif dis link. We have da possums and dey look like da big rats; they climb trees and have bare tayles and dey can hang frum dem, too! And dere was dis fracoon dat was gettin in da trash can; Mommy had to mayk it go away cuz it wuz spreading da trash all ofer da playce at nyte.

Woodchucks, possums and raccoons are not creatures of the "same nature." They are not even related. Woodchucks, aka groundhogs (or "whistle pigs" are rodents. Chipmunks, aka ground squirrels, are also rodents, but quite different. They are related to squirrels, mice, rats, voles, chinchillas, guinea pigs, prairie dogs and hamsters. Raccoons belong to their own distinct species, called Procyonidae. They are related to the coatimundi and the kinkajou. Opossums are different again. They are marsupials. The one we see around is the Common opossum. They have a lot of relatives in South America, and in Australia, but they are the only marsupial native to the North American continent.
