For once I could have had a cat video to go viral

For several weeks my cat has been eying the squirrels that attack the bird feeder, waiting for them to come down to ground level, and then charging at them full speed. Squirrel always makes it up the tree trunk just ahead of the cat. Today the cat got smart, took an angle, and headed for the trunk of the tree to cut off the squirrel and came within a fraction of an inch of getting him. I was about to praise her for her ingenuity, when she started looking around as if to say, where did he go, how did I miss him, and the squirrel came down the trunk, bonked her on the head, and scampered back up the tree. 🤪🤪
