No. Look at those eyes. Never a wastebasket kitty.
BTW, nice toes photo bomb.

SQUIRREL WARS!!!
We have given up trying to keep the squirrels out of this bird feeder. We've tried all sorts of stuff like attaching metal studs to the house and then spraying them with WD40; putting capsaicin in the food...these squirrels must like TexMex...among other things.
They always adapt to a new arrangement very quickly. I noted early on that one was stretching out and reaching around the metal studs to get into the feeder. So I added a piece of PVC pipe to make the reach much longer. About an hour or two after making this modification, I see this particular squirrel climb up on the overhang and slide butt first down the PVC pipe straight into the feeder. Glad I could make life easier for you, Kraken Squirrel!
One fur ball (second pic) is so ballsy that banging on the window doesn't even scare it off anymore. It just poses for more photos before stretching it's body out into the feeder and indulging in some fine dining at the Surround household.

One eye partially open. Kind of spooky ...
"Sometimes, you might even notice that one of your kitty’s eyes is open and one is shut while they doze, a variation on the eyes half-open sleeping position.
This is called unihemispheric slow wave sleep. In this scenario, half of your cat’s brain is unconscious and resting while the other half is conscious and alert"

That's awesome. What does he think??
We had the grey introduced over here and they really aren't scared of humans, and have become a right pest. Also they out compete for food our native red squirrels, plus they carry a virus that has killed off the reds! However in areas where these have made a come back, grey squirrel numbers have dropped and red squirrel numbers have risen as the grey is heavier so can't get onto the finer branches that the reds can,

ar surround. If your feeder is on a pole like a pipe....Grease it with axle grease. Much fun to be had watching them over come this slippery problem.
at our house we surrendered. they won. so we have a dedicated squirrel feed station that keeps them away from the bird feeders.
Actually, with many activities reduced due to COVID, creating a new obstacle for the squirrels and watching them learn to get around it has become a new pastime.
Have you thought about mounting a pair of AR 3 speakers to either side? And blasting them on cue with Black Sabbath or Def Leppard?
An AR-15 might work just as well...Ummmmmm, and I mean the AR-15 that is legal in New Jersey....
