    NO ANIMALS WERE HARMED IN THE MAKING OF THIS VIDEO!!
    People need to chill out and relax jees. Make any video with animals in it and guarantee people will call you cruel and mean. My god someone even argued about what the squirrel was actually thinking. Some people just can't pass up a chance to virtue signal from their moral high ground.

      I know this comment is old, but you took the words right out of my mouth. To these people, even playing fetch with a dog is 'animal abuse' because "some poor dog brought it's ball over to its owner in hopes of being praised, only to have him chuck away that ball that he worked so hard to bring to him. that dog must be so traumatized". These people are completely ridiculous

    I had a cat that was friends with the squirrels in my yard. He was an indoor cat, but was allowed in the yard because he never roamed. He and the squirrels could sit side by side and he never went for them (he chased bees like a moron) and they never went for him. I could sit there reading and have the cat on one side and a squirrel on the tree branch next to me and think "if this goes wrong, I need rabies shots". The squirrel would chatter and my cat would look at it. If one of them moved, the other didn't care. It was a strange friendship, but that cat lived a long, healthy life and so did the squirrels. *randomly watched this this in 2018

      I trained my cat from young to be a hunter (with fast toys & treats for doing well.)
      He caught a few squirrels in his time (among other things) & chewed their tails off, I was always surprised he could catch one but he would hide in a bush for hours waiting for the perfect opportunity. I was a lot more happy when he caught a fat dirty pigeon but had to reward him either way as he had done well as a hunter & brought his prize to show me after= 😸 👍😑 (😝)

      Squirrels are far sighted. They really don't see well close up. They see movement and can smell and hear. It makes for some hilarious encounters but also easy prey for stealthy predators.

    The second the guy opened the window I knew what would happen. I've had cats, dogs, hamsters and gerbils all my life. I'm 65. Instinct will take over, especially with how often the squirrels are at the window. Cats are incredible hunters and they can actually catch a squirrel. Personally, I wouldn't want a pet cat who's usually in the house to be near a squirrel. The squirrels can be nasty. I'm glad the cat just ran back home.
    As far as I am concerned, I think that this is great cat TV. Most cats enjoy looking out the window. This is a fantastic setup for him.
    I think it's also wonderful that the birds and the squirrels are being fed during the winter.

They do actual harm to the ecosystem if left outside, and them hunting shouldn't be encouraged. It's not about the well being of any one animal, it's about the impact it has on the entire area.

      Nice to see him more confident later on. And there is nothing wrong with your cat keeping those bush tailed rats at bay. Squirrels (at least some species) are well adapted to city life and a bit of predation is not bad for the population.

    My big tom cat used to bring rats, birds, and sometime even big rabbits to my door when I was a kid. He killed everything on my side of the road so then he learned to cross the road into the woods on the other side. I would watch him stop and look both ways before crossing. Then sometimes later he would come back with something dead. There wasn't many squirrels where I lived though or you could bet he would catch them. Sadly he died of old age at 21 last year an outdoors hunter until the end.

      Basically, yes. The squirrels want some food from the human. They know that people fill the feeders, and the ones they can get to are probably empty. A lot of people also feed the squirrels from right out their windows, so sometimes they come up to windows looking for people to feed them. The cats are mostly a non-issue to the squirrels. In the squirrels' minds, they think they can escape from cats (and the vast majority of the time do) and so they aren't that scared of them, plus they understand how windows work. Though there really are squirrels that will play games with cats, these ones looked like they were looking past the cats into the house looking for humans with food.

    I used to hate cats. That was until a stray that was near death was in my neighborhood. I think it was one of those catch and release cats because when I took him in for shots I learned that she was a he that had been neutered. People who think they are doing good are wrong. He was slowly dying of starvation and I was just fortunate to find him in time. It took almost a month to earn his trust, but afterwards he was always there to greet me when I got home. He had some traits that reminded me of how dogs behave. I got really attached to him. Sadly, he was eventually killed by a bobcat in the neighborhood. He’s been gone for a couple years and I still miss him. I am too much of a clean freak to have an indoor cat, and it would not be right to get one for the outdoors knowing that it would probably have the same outcome.Anyway, sorry for the long and soppy story. Your cat reminded me of him.

      I take in feral cats, spay, neuter, feed and socialize them in hopes to find them a forever home. I personally have had 25 ferals spayed/neutered in the last year. It is "my calling," I guess. I sometimes go without to care for these cats. You state, "people who think they are doing good are wrong." It's been my experience that controlling the feral cat population by spay and neutering them is the "best option." Feral cats do control rodent populations. If we euthanize all of them, the rodent population will get completely out of control, contaminating food sources and humans will get very sick from disease carried by rodents. There is a balance that needs to exist. I am becoming crippled by stenosis so my volunteer work may come to an end soon and no one else is very interested in what I do. Some ferals take a year or more to socialize, you need alot of patience but kittens are much easier. By the way, normally a "catch and release cat" has the left ear clipped when returned to their territory (yours may have simply been an abandoned or lost cat or a "weaker male" from someone's yard). Males are neutered to help cut down on fighting which injures them, sometimes fatally and it cuts down on the spraying. Here, in my area, ALL ferals that go the shelter are euthanized. There are people here that think all ferals should die. It reminds of a story where inhabitants of an island thought the same until rodents destroyed their grain and food supplies. These people were getting rodent born illnesses and facing starvation. They destroyed all feral cats because they were killing birds. They soon learned that they should have kept some around! While I do more for feral cats than others, several folks provide food for the ferals and many pay to have them neutered/spayed and then released, while providing food for 20 to 30 cats in a colony. The cats still hunt the rodents but do not starve and yet, do their part in controlling rodent populations. But we cannot spay and neuter all of them because a population needs to continually exist. So helping is actually a win win situation for both cats and humans. Sorry for such a long story. I am trying to educate people to the realities of feral cat populations. Yes, many cats behave like dogs too! ☺

He is a curious cat and loves to run up to everything, and he stops to observe. I would have NEVER let an aggressive cat out of the window. We respect our gray squirrels around here. But the words I said during the video implies that I wanted blood shed. I was caught up in the moment, amazed at how my cat bolted out of the window to chase. I also knew he would not engage with the squirrel. There are a few on here that really troll, and I even had a few people tell me they would like to see me dead, so that is rather extreme, but those extreme comments are just a testament to the few sad, pathetic people who sit behind a screen and try to spread hate. Hate is only effective if received by me, and I aint receiving it. I love the fact that a very high percentage of comments are very positive and encouraging, like your comment. Thank you for taking the time to write a positive comment. I realize that it takes more effort for people to express a positive comment than for a troll to just spew hatred.

    Movie executive watches this video, Signs Mason to 3 picture deal, cat moves to Hollywood, becomes superhero kitty, gets strung out on catnip, meets Sheba cat-food kitty in rehab, marries and moves back to this home to start family and teach squirrel hunting. True Hollywood Story!

      @@stclairstclair My wife and I have had about 60 cats over 45 years of marriage. Most lived full lives. Our last cat is 18 years old and appears healthy if less vigorous than when a year old. About twenty years ago we had a Turkish Van born in our house. A beautiful silky furred white cat with a few dark spots and tail. He was an amazing hunter. I have a large fig tree in my yard. He liked to lay on a branch where figs were ripening and wait for the blue jays to come and poach figs. He killed dozens of jays. He also was adept at catching dragonflies in mid air. His greatest feat of hunting was catching the wild dinner rolls when the neighbors were having a barbeque. He would jump the fence into our yard, dragging a bag of dinner rolls, and then prance across the lawn with his catch. One year a pair of swallows built a nest under the eve of our front porch. They raised 5 chicks that year while this cat studied the way the birds returned to their nest. The next year the swallows returned. The cats study payed off. He caught and ate both swallows their first day back.

      @Yolanda Davis really? Did the human or the cat do the killing? Did the human teach the cat how to hunt? I've got another angle for you that shows how wrong you are: I'd bet you love the implementation of wind power because it's so squeaky clean. Forget that it's terribly inefficient and can only survive with government subsidies. Well, out west in the U.S. the Obama Administration planted hundreds of thousands of gigantic wind turbines. Now it turns out that those turbines are each killing thousands of birds annually. Is Obama a murderer? Is the government the murderer? How about the farmers who lease the land for the turbines?
      I have bad news for you, Yolanda Davis. The answer is none of the above and the reason is that murder can only be committed by a human perpetrator on a human victim. Birds can't be murdered. Neither can squirrels. The problem you have is that you've fallen for the moral equivalency arguments of stupid groups like PETA. Perhaps you're a PETA member. Holding non-human animals to the same value as humans is a dangerous way of thinking. It's a dog eat dog world out there, Yolanda, and if I get hungry, and there's nothing else to eat, I am going to kill a dog and eat it. And it won't be murder. Stop being a dope please.

      My cat is actually very curious and loves to play and he thinks that these squirrels are just something to play with and chase, but I am positive this cat would never harm the squirrels. I did realize, however, that the squirrels may not be so nice to the cat, so I never let him run out the window anymore. Plus, we have a large owl that moved into our trees in the back yard, so I will not be letting the cat out ever.
