Some of us get love from our squirrels. In fact I once had a cat and a squirrel who were best buddies!! They were born the same year, the cat under the house and the squirrel under the roof lol
I’ve seen raccoons n feral cats sharing territory with food sources, and twice I’ve known orphaned raccoons to be raised with kittens. It may be their safe place was flooded out. Hopefully she’s brought them to a new one
In a way. They’re always interested in what’s on my plate
