I had just stepped out of our door at home, when I heard a noise. There was a squirrel right mid way through to the top of a coconut tree and there was a cat ready to jump on the coconut tree to catch that little one.
I was so scared for the little squirrel. After shouting and running after the cat, I was finally able to drive it away from the tree.The squirrel went up the tree still making that noise.
My mom asked me what the noise was all about.
Me: The cat was trying to catch the squirrel. Luckily, I was able to get it off.
My mom: That squirrel has no brains. Every time it comes down, the cat is trying to pounce on it. Still, it keeps coming down.
Me: But amma, it has to, right. What will it do for food when it is up in the tree.
My mom: I have tried to put nuts and other food that squirrels usually eat on the wall many times. But they never take what I put on the wall. Instead, the rat eats it in the night.
Me: Poor thing. I hate these cats
My mom: Ippadi satham pottitu vantha, poona athe pudikaama, yenna seiyum? Muthama kudupaanga. Arive ille. (Translation - if it makes noise like this and comes down, what will the cat do other than pounce on it. Will it kiss it. It has got no brains)
My mom: Do you know how many times I have tried to shoo away the squirrels when the cat or crow is around.
My mom (coming out of the house): has it finally gone up?? Thank god!!
Just another random day on weekend.
