I feed the squirrels too, gnu. I love the little rascals. I've got red ones, black ones, and gray ones, and I feed them all. They're so cute! ;-) I love the way they stand with their little hands folded in almost a "prayer" position, not to mention the way they holler and bitch from the trees whenever they get pissed off, which happens quite frequently. If you imitate them, they get even more upset (same as dogs do).

By the way, I like rats too. Ever seen "Ratatouille"?
