    once a grey squirrel has been caught, it's illegal to " re home it" It MUST be killed, by law.

    Turned my stomach, but my cat provided me with a dead squirrel 'gift' under my bed....

    Cat gets the mice too,. but also  loves newly dug soil as a toilet...... balance/ compromise.

    the RSPCA have prosecuted people for less.

    Ask yourself when you last saw a red squirrel , then ask your self why.

    I wasn't defending grey squirrels, it just tickled me.

    I won't be killing or rehoming any squirrels.

    My cat is very lazy she didn't run after squirrel or mice or any other rodents . I usually set a trap for the squirrel or use repllent for the squirrel so that they will never destroy my backyard garden.
    I usually put feeder for squirrel with anything so that they will eat from there not come to my garden.
