   My cat used to hunt squirrels in her younger days (she'll
be 19 this fall).  Used to eat them, and save the tail as a play
toy.  Sometimes she would only eat the brains out of the back
of the head.

   I, too, hate squirrels.  Dang things ravaged last year's corn 
and squash crops, along with the tomatoes.  About the only
thing they don't go after is the chiles.  They haven't been a
nuisance yet this year, but the tomatoes aren't ripe.  I reserve 
the right to dispatch them with either the "high speed lead
poisoning" mentioned before, or the "Have-a-Heart swimming
lessons" technique.

Scott... all squirrels must die... KCK
