Shortly after a cat tried to attack this squirrel, it threw some sort of temper tantrum on top of the roof.

  • Ohhhh god, he's calling for backup!

  • @Jmw122283 Just found a great description of the behavior:

    "A squirrel threatened by a serious predator like a cat, dog, hawk or wayward toddler will issue a multimodal alarm, barking out a series of loud chuk-chuk-chuks with a nasally, penetrating “whaa” at the end, while simultaneously performing a tail flag — lifting its fluffy baton high over its head and flicking it back and forth rhythmically. "

  • In a way, he is funny !What was he angry about ?

  • See the description - a cat had just tried to ambush him from behind a bush in my garden!

  • Oh Yes ! Sorry ! (I usually do read it... but this time it just skipped off my attention !)

  • No problem! I wish I had filmed the cat trying to jump the squirrel - it was funny too because it was really a lame attempt (the cat was orange and kind of overweight)

  • This one squirrel did that to me! I was just walking along, minding my own business, when something started SCREECHING at me. I was really freaked out until I saw it was just a squirrel.

  • omg i saw this once and thought i was about to be swarmed

  • The maddest squirrel I ever saw was in the top of a tree with a swarm of bees around him.

  • @fuhrmanator00

    heard that in my room with window open there was the cat and squirrel and it was making that sound, scared the shit outta me when i heard it in my room all quiet before.

  • a squirrel in a tree in our school was making this noise as me and my friends were jogging past in during a p.e lesson, no-one else was around so we decided to sit and watch it and we thought it was talking to us :)

  • Squirrels do that as a warning to other squirrels that there's a predator nearby, also to encourage the predator to leave.

  • Wtf
