I hate my life. Most ordinary people get something like mice or bats in their home apartment. No, instead I hear a ruckus in my bedroom at 2:30 a.m. and go to investigate. Arthur, my cat, is on the floor running away (probably should've named him Robin, after brave brave Sir Robin) from...a squirrel. Then I realize they are playing.

1. How the hell did a squirrel get inside
2. see 1.
3. see 1. again
4. My cat really is part squirrel

/facepalm

Now the fun part is trying to catch him. It's been...inteesting. He's out of the bedroom now, got him cornered behind my gaming desk. If you know tabletop gaming books, yeah I'm not emptying that just so I can move it. Poor little guy, though he is tempting me pull out my mace. I'd use the crossbow, but don't want to damage the apartment and projectiles and me don't get along. Been an interesting month. Well back to squirrel catching.

---------------------------------------

Soooo..... I chased him all over and finally he ran into the coat closet by the front door and hid behind my shoes. Had an old towel to block his escape route, or so I thought. Toed the shoes and he leapt over the towel....and right into a bucket I store in there. Which promptly got covered by the towel. Few seconds later, he was free, outside.

Good hunting!
Try not to hurt the little fella (or yourself) to much.

Finally... a story where the Atlas gets the squirrel through tactical positioning .

Yeah did get him. With some work and a whole freaking lot of luck. Apparently praying to Lady Luck works.

Though at 5'2" and 105 lbs soaking wet, I'm not sure if I qualify as an Atlas except maybe to the squirrel. I know sharks have laser beams, so glad squirrels don't. When he jumped my towel, the only thing I could think "Oh gods, he played Baldur's Gate also. Not the eyes! No!" I think my brain needs rewiring.

Me? A battlestard, how dare y- ooooh, I gets it. *grins* Apparently I cannot hit a target irl either. Dang Squinners and their jump jets.
