Camera Critters: Heidi's Visitor


This is Heidi. When she isn't hiding she likes to sit in the bay window of the dining room.
Hmmm....wonder what she sees out there?
Looks like Heidi and Thumper are having a staring contest.
Do you think Thumper looks like she's pleading for Heidi not to come outside?
Later I saw her coming down the walnut tree.
When she got close enough to the ground she jumped!

  1. An adorable set of photos. Nice closeups!
    We named the squirrel pair that visits our deck.
    And when they were young, our kids named the deer, lizards, frogs, turtles, etc that visited our backyard.

  5. Beautiful pictures. I love the squirrel staring back at the cat. We don't see many squirrels where I live, mainly rabbits.

  7. Oh what great shots! Especially the last two! But I liked the variation in the point of focus too with Heidi looking out - and then to what she sees! Very nice!

  17. Carletta: Very neat captures of your cat and squirrel. I always thought Thumper was a rabbit.

  19. Wonderful pictures!

    My dog stares out the window all the time. But she barks at almost everything... plastic bags, leaves.. if we had more squirrels, she'd probably bark at them. LOL!!!!

  20. Hi Carletta. What a sweet, sweet face on that kitty! Reminds me of my childhood cat. Me, I've got cows today.

  22. Heidi and the squirrel are really friends ...

  23. Heidi has such a small sweet face with amazing eyes!!

    My Siren ducks under the window sill when he sees squirrels and then he peeks up and makes odd clucking sounds at them

    it's very funny

  25. Thank you for this lovely story of those two animals.

  26. Your Heidi is pretty!

    One of my cats is bad to come watch out the window here for Mama Squirrel or birds, and if they are out here she goes running to the door if she hears someone come in or out.

  27. I mean to tell you that here sometimes we will see a flock of turkeys in one spot forever, then suddenly they are not there any more. I guess they move on to new territory.

  46. What a fun visitor for Heidi! Love this series of photos you've shared. Sorry to be visiting so late, but I'm doing what I can to catch up ... skipping Ruby Tuesday even. Thanks for visiting Happily Retired Gal.
    Hugs and blessings,

  47. What a great series. I think Thumper was probably asking Heidi if there was any chance of coming inside and warming up. Don't know if it's been as cold in your neck of the woods as here. It was 4 degrees all day Sunday and colder on Saturday. Today it was a balmy 20 degrees.
