Last night, as I was heading to my car port,
a baby skunk got there first.
I don’t know whether baby skunks
have the same lack of control
over their magic weapons
as baby rattlesnakes, so I held back.
The wee one took about six minutes
to check out my carport.
then was chased off,
by one of the feral cats
that live in the back yard.
Cat didn’t smell,
this morning.
So, I guess baby skunks
are not quick to
spray perfume.
Hehe! I’m glad you were not perfumed! The babies are capable of spraying but their range isn’t as great nor is the quantity. And of course their aim is not as accurate as the adults… The cat was lucky!!

Good to know. I give wild animals their space, regardless.

Baby rattlers are wicked — it sounds as if baby skunks not quite so bad! Isn’t nature fun?!

It is so amusing- when I first moved here, two javelinas regularly visited the back yard, each night.

I’m not familiar with javelinas — did they simply mosey through, or did they stop and enjoy the yard?

They were getting into a bucket of birdseed, which the landlord had left sitting out. I turned on my back door light, which spooked them into leaving. The next morning, I put the birdseed in a secure place.
