(30,933 posts)29. I rejoice with you and also for myself.
My little chipmunk Chippy was not seen for at least a week and has been around again for the past couple days. It defies sense how much joy that tiny, wild critter gives me.
to give some perspective, I've lived in NC for nearly 18 years. Chippy is the ONLY chipmunk I've ever seen here. He's been burrowing under my shed for 4 years now.

I cured my cat of wanting to sneak out by taking her out in a snowstorm & setting her in snow

That is my next step. I will say she only slips out during good weather, never the hard winter

They know you're not happy. Perhaps she will think next time?? Who knows. Glad she's home!
