I suppose some people do eat squirrel and they might use this to cook
them with.

We actually have a squirrel cooker but have never put a squirrel on
the business end of it. Tri-tip is great camping fare using this
handy little device. It’s nice to sit around the campfire watching
dinner cook, giving it a twist once every so often while telling tall
tales.

It was a joke. You don't actually think I'd eat a squirrel, do you?! This
isn't the 1800's. I'm not "huntin fer food".

Oh, I know that Jill. I didn't mean to presume that you were eating
the cute little fellers'. In fact, I was aghast when my hubbin'
brought home a "squirrel cooker", I thought he meant to go huntin' .
That's just what the cooker is called. We have only used it for
cooking beef and chicken over the fire.

No worries my dear.

Persia weighs 16 lbs. so she could certainly take on a squirrel. That's if
I let her outside. And assuming some ass* hadn't front declawed her before
she came to me.

Of course they do! Down here Persia is on constant lizard watch. They love
to tease her by running up and down the screens.

That's good to know! I wish Mom hadn't thrown out the cookbook the recipe
came from. There was probably lots of other good stuff in it I didn't
bother to write down.

Our cats are on lizard patrol 24/7

I know when a lizard is up high on the screen door when I hear "the retard"
(her name) is stuck at the top of it.

That's too funny. ;-) Lizards on the west side window screens drive our
cats nuts too.
