I am laughing so hard there are tears rolling down my cheeks ! Your brave stoic husband, your slacker cat and your obvious skills at swatting As$&! Are to be commended. 🤣🤣🤣
🤣i had a bird that the cat brought in that flew to my drapery rod in our bedroom. It was so scared it pooped all over my silk drapes and duvet until we cornered it and threw it out of the window. What a mess!!
You not only make wonderful photos, you have a definite way with words, too! I laughed until I cried because I could actually "see" your experience with the furry little critter!
I’ve had the same thing happen and as I seem to be the one people call to help with wildlife in their homes I had only one experience with a squirrel flying around in my living and din room. I’ve not figured out how the not so cute squirrel got in but he sure did want to get out. He flew from window to window as I, like you, use a broom to TRY to guide him to the front open front door! I have antique small bottles in each window and he managed to cause to knock down most and break a few. That really made me mad rather than eager to get him out.
I have been successful in getting a bird and a bat out of a building but the squirrel was in frantic mode so it was going from window to window but not the door.
Finally I blocked him with a large black trash bag opened and swinging it to get him in the right direction! Let me note here that I have not only a front door but a storm door on my porch so I had to make sure he would make it out of both.
I finally took control and had him going toward the doorway and he got smart since this crazed woman was now tougher and smarter than him with bag and broom.
This all lasted about 25 minutes and finally he must have smelled fresh air and headed for both doors.
Let me add, I sat down to evaluate the damage and found only four bottles had broken so I swept them up with my handy broom and them put the room back in order. I’m now an expert with this getting unwanted God’s creatures out of my living space and other peoples too. I have a record of catching and killing over 35 rats that tried to make my 100 year old house their home. I have a sizable crawl space under my home and two vacant lots that I believe housed rats nests but they decided my warm house was better. Over several years I have finally closed off ALL ways to enter.
A side note. In another house I discovered squirrels living in my attic and someone told me they did not like moth balls. For a while I would climb the ladder to the attic opening and toss the moth balls into as much of the attic as I could. Finally I had to have a new roof and the workers found the hole that they had access. No more non paying roomers in my house.

" I have no recollection, but Joe says I managed to connect the sweet spot of the broom with his furry little ass, and out the door he went, over the fence, out of the park, home run." - This is funny. What a great story, Beth.
Hilarious. When we lived in Arkansas, there was a woman so off put by a squirrel in her kitchen that she got her gun...and blasted holes through her cabinets, but not the squirrel.

I felt like I was there! 😂
Too funny 😂 I can just see it ! I once had an episode with a wayward pot-bellied pig 😂😂
Been there, done that. We suck at it, too!

I laughed until I cried. You made my day.
I laughed out loud!

Thanks for a great chuckle to start my day!
So funny! My hubs and 14 year old daughter loved it, too. Gave our family a great laugh this morning.

We've had similar experiences with bats.
Love it!!! I can barely imagine it but that is hilarious! Glad you sent him
On his way!!!
