Help name seven baby skunks, please

In summary, skunks have little to no fear of humans and the cats like to make friends with them. The neighbor's dog killed all of the kittens that a stray cat that hangs around had. I am so sorry to hear about Miss Bun. But on the positive side, there are the times when you go into your kitchen and there's an opossum eating cat food like it's the most natural thing in the world.

But you'll at least give warning for folks to clear the room by pounding your front foot, right?! :eek: :smile:

All this reminds me of all the times me and my friends, back when I was a kid, would be playing football or something and the ball would hit a branch and knock a baby bird out and we would try to nurse it back to health. But are parents knew we couldn't really help it (we would always call the vet to see what we could do, of coarse they usually didn't have the heart to tell an eight year old: "its just one wild bird, its not worth saving"), so we had to just leave out near a tree and let nature take its coarse...

We also use to have starlings nest up in are chimney. Darn things would fall down it every once in awhile and fly around the house and scare me half to death. Good thing they only nested in the summer or all their eggs would have been cooked.

You bet. If I start pounding my right foot, look out! :biggrin:

Of course, it may only be that someone is scratching me in a good spot.

Isn't she just the CUTEST little baby! :biggrin: :biggrin: (You always DID have expensive taste, Sis! : :wink: : You're going to become big and strong and bushy eating all our kitties Science Diet! :rolleyes:)

OK. So this is how Ivan tells me he has this picture. I get home from work and call him on the intercom to tell him I'm home. I change my clothes and sit down in my chair to do a little PFing. :smile: Ivan comes strolling in with the camera (he'd been taking pix while his sis and her family were here, so I'm figuring he wants me to download them and email to his family, right? ... :rolleyes:) and plugs it into my computer. So I'm downloading all these pix of his family and our 4th of July party, when all of a sudden... I see these two pictures flash before my eyes of THE SKUNK BABIES IN MY KITCHEN EATING MY CAT'S FOOD? WWWWWHAT??

So after I get over the SHOCK... :surprise: :surprise: :surprise: he tells me he shoo'ed it out of the kitchen! ...BY THROWING MY LITTLE KNITTED COASTERS AT IT! He's so FREAKIN' lucky he didn't get sprayed... IN MY KITCHEN ! :biggrin: :biggrin: :biggrin: (I'm going to have to HIDE those coffee cup coasters of his!)

So, NOW what do I do? My sweet little Zoobie is starting to go a little 'wild' on me now. She hardly EVER comes home to sit in my lap and let me comb all of the weed seeds out of her fur and tail anymore. :cry: NO! She's ALWAYS out playing with her little SKUNK friends! Ivan! You've GOT to get rid of those little skunks!

SOMEBODY HELP ME! :biggrin: :smile: :biggrin:

:biggrin: That is so cute! :biggrin:

Of course, it would look just as cute OUTSIDE! :surprise:

I can send you some friendly kitchen possums. They drool a lot when they eat cat food, but they will scare away the skunks. I can honestly say that I have never (to my knowledge) had a skunk in my kitchen since I got my first kitchen possum. :approve:

Oh, and my avatar is my best (male) friend, you know the one. Hope it didn't scare you.

Now wait just a goll dern minute! I thought you said you had GARAGE possums! You never said a dang WORD about a KITCHEN possum! Erm... I think I'll just keep my skunks. Possums creep me out! :biggrin: 'Sides -- I don't need a drooling possum along with my drooling cat! Hell, next someone in Montana will be sending me a MOOSE! (Ya ever heard of Moose Drool beer?? :surprise: :smile: :smile: )

Glad you mentioned your friend. (CUTE! :biggrin:) You had me a tad worried for a minute. Thought maybe you'd gone and had yerself one of them thar 'operations'! :surprise: :smile: :smile: :smile: :-p (Or someone is a GRAND MASTER of make-up/make-overs... :biggrin: :wink: )

The garage opossums are free, the kitchen opossums are rare and expensive, but since you're my better looking, more intelligent, (mom always did like you the best! ) twin sis, I will send you one for free. (I cannot guarantee it will be in the best condition though). <snicker> :-p
 
  • #117
Yeah, right. You go right ahead and send me that possum, Sis. :wink: Then keep your eye on e-Bay for the sale of an expensive and rare possum and his little skunk friend, EVO THE TERRIBLE! :surprise: :smile: :smile: Mwahahaha... :devil:
<I HEARD THAT SNICKER!> :-p
 
  • #118
Oh yes, its seems that the skunks dispersed before I could trap them all together. Now I don't know who is where; well except for Evo The Terrible, at 3AM. She should be easy to catch.
 
  • #119
Oh my goodness! Oh my goodness! That picture of the little skunk eating the catfood is wonderful!
I hear that catfood is no good for them though, so maybe it's time to stock up on some Purina Skunk Chow!
p.s. I hope you don't mind, Tsu, but I've shared the baby skunk pics with some of my critter-loving friends.
p.p.s. Oh, and Evo, I had to pass the "Dr. Foofer" ad along to my mom, who also has cats and has a possum living in her garage. She thought it was hysterical!

The new skunk picture doesn't show up for me. What did he do to the last one to make it show up? Change a percent sign in the address or something?

Right click on the red cross and then click 'Properties'. Then copy and paste the address into your address box.

Is that Eyebeen Stinking?
Look at the size of that tail, LOL !
 
  • #124
For crying out loud no that's clearly Evo The Terrible. Her tail is much cuter than Eyebeen's.

Still can't see 'em. Also can't see a red cross.

That sounds more like what shows up on my screen, just a link with "..." in the middle so I can't even type it in by hand. I'm using a Mac with some version of I.E. I right click over the link, which gives me a pop-up menu (I think if you use a Mac with a one-button mouse, you can get the same thing by clicking and holding the button down rather than clicking and releasing, but I've found life is so much better with a two-button mouse), and one of the choices is "copy link to clipboard" Choose that and it copies the entire address, which is different than if you try just dragging over the text to highlight and copy it. Then just go up to your address bar and paste it in (ctrl-V on a PC, apple-V on a mac), hit enter, and it should open.

I don't know what you do if you use a different browser. I'm pretty sure the right click is the same on Macs and PCs, but I abandoned my PC a few months ago, and that was still windoze 98 I think.

Try clicking on this link (or if it doesn't come up as a link copy and paste into your address bar):

For some reason, Tsunami, that address showed up as a link in the E-Mail from PF telling me there was a response to this thread, and by clicking on it I finally got to see the critter! Quite tiny and charming!
 
  • #131
I LOVE the way they totally DROOL into the bowl and the food and then fling the food all over the place so it STICKS to the floor and the wall...

Oh my gosh, that sounded a little funny didn't it? :biggrin:

I just meant that Evo's tail is bigger and hairier.

:cry: I WANT A SKUNK! Everybody's got a skunk but me.
Zooby's got skunks, Ivan's got skunks, Tsunami's got skunks...
All I've got are lousy possums, uppity squirrels and an overweight cat!
(Vet told me today I need to put Jellyroll on a diet. Yeah, sure - that'll happen! :wink: )
