Long story short:
While back we found a young squirrel on our yard, soon we found out that there's actually 3 of them. 2 of them died quite soon after to unknown reasons, but the last one seems like a survivor.
The squirrels probably lost their mom to some predator or a car, don't know, but they don't seem to be afraid of my cat Oni. And as it turns out, not afraid of me either, really. We've been seeing the last one arond for a week or so now.
Today, after greeting Oni first
the squirrel approached me for the first time, first going around my shoes and climbing a bit. Then it was like "dude, I can do this" and started climbing up my pants. It took few tries, apparently my pants weren't the optimal climbing surface
but it finally reached the peak of mount Kaotika
After conquering the mountain, the squirrel started the descent only to find a perfect new place for a nest - from my pocket
The squirrel fell asleep in the new found nest and I took the opportunity to build it a nest - I think he/she likes it better outside than at my place after all.
