When I lived in Sherman Oaks, CA this adorable squirrel would come taunt my cat through the back door. Gradually, over time, she would be waiting for me to come home from work at 7am and I started laying a bowl out for her. Every day, I would get a little closer until she was finally taking the peanut from my hand. I did this with her for about 2 years until one day she never came back. I'd like to believe she found a husband and relocated to a place that had better snacks.
