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.

How do you play "Phone Tag"?
How to Play Phone Tag:

If you call a friend, but he/she is not home, leave a message. Your friend calls you back, but YOU are not at home. He/she leaves you a message. You return their call, but they aren't home (AGAIN!) So you leave them the message - "TAG! You're it!" :biggrin:

I just learned that skunks can have rabies but not exhibit symptoms. Not good.

Not to worry - I don't think it's that widespread. Take a look at this Ivan:

check out the rabies maps.

Interesting; thanks. Oregon does look good for everything except bats. Bats have consistently tested positive in the 5-10% range [of those tested].

PF Skunk Activities Report: Final Report

When cleaining the cat box I usually dump the old stuff off the side of the hill near the house. First, this completely gets rid of any odor concerns. Also, by the time it hits the ground it has mostly dispersed; though I wouldn't want to be at the bottom of the hill at the time.

It seems that the other night I threw the cat poop on a skunk. :smile: Right after the toss I was acutely aware of that oh so pleasant odor rising from the ground below. Now that's what I call revenge! :smile: :smile: :smile:

Aside from that I haven't seen or smelled a skunk in weeks. I guess we still have one or two hanging around but they seem to be well clear of the house. The neighbors must have provided homes for the rest. :redface:

I think the babies have all grown up and left home. It goes so fast. :cry: :cry: :cry:
