Why would a cat befriend a squirrel?

Question

I think my daughters cat has lost his mind. He was letting a squirrel eat his food then they just looked at each other a while. No agression,no fear.

Answer 1

that is bad ***.   it would make an excellent comic strip, i think.  thanks for the idea!

Answer 2

Curiosity. I had a male cut that nursed a baby squirrel (yes, male cats can nurse)  

Answer 3

Harmony :)

Answer 4

animals don't make friends.

they don't have feelings.

tell your daughter.  don't lie.

Answer 5

maybe kitty doesn't know he's a squirrel

might just assume he's a funny looking cat

Answer 6

Cats are weird huh? AT least your cat doesn't side in the middle of the road until a car comes, then barley dodges it! lol

Answer 7

there dating its so simple when they look at each other this means there in love soon youll see half squirrel half cat babys in ur house but if there from the same s*x then there g*y and there gonna have to go to a sperm bank

Answer 8

Ike S, is bull... Animals do have feelings!

Otherwise, why would a dog come running when you've been gone a while... THEY MISSED YOU [if you miss someone, that is an emotion!!]

There's no telling why animals do the things they do... just make sure you document this, because it'll be a great story to tell in the future!

:]

Answer 9

maybe your cat was just not hungry or the cat and the squirrel have known each other for a long time.

Answer 10

The cats I know eat squirrels. Perhaps the cat is trying to lull the squirrel into a false sense of security. They do play with their prey, drawing out the kill, but I've never heard of a cat playing mind games with their prey.

Yup, that's very weird.

Answer 11

get ready for half squirrel half cat babiesssssss
