That’s funny, a war of attrition. Good luck.

Morning update:

I love the smell of apples and peanut butter in the morning

As I head into the belly of the beast this morning not a soul can be heard. Maybe he got back out I say to myself. I start putting things back in place from last nights excursions, level the washer and dryer, sweep up the kitty litter and move boxes. I check the trap- nope no woodland creature. I assess the area much like Elmer Fud hunting wabbits.

Then from under the stairs a sound could it be? Yes, woodland creature. It seems he must have been sleeping in. Rise and shine @#$#@! I am not going to repeat the actions of last nights. At least not yet anyway, must have coffee to get off on the right foot.

Now mind you both kids are available to help, a 4 and 2 year old. All three cats and my three legged Golden, who is just concerned with getting fed and going outside. What a life.

So, today I will take on that beast with all the smarts of a 40 YO man.

Update to follow.

I hate cat poop

50 cal will do it

Too funny, thanks for the laugh. You have “Watch squirrels” protecting your property. That must have been raucous. The neighbors will be saying that the loud family is at it again. Cool. Keep them neighbors on their toes I say. Come up out of the basement sweating like a slave, carrying a broom. Too bad you didn’t video it and put it to Wagner’s “Ride of the Valkyries”. It would have gone viral. You’ve done a mans job sir, well done. Hooyah!fficeffice" />>>

And now the conclusion:

I told Mr squirrel things may get ugly if he wont give up.
Meanwhile I strategically place boxes in corners and spots so he could not run out. (human logic at its best).
I was now making lots of noise to flush him out. There, there was his angry voice coming out. He was in the closet under a piece of insulation. I maniacally fluttered my finger and looked for some leather gloves. Among our moving boxes were a pair of hard home depot leather gloves, I at least have some basic protection from hi large squirrel teeth, grrrrrrrr.

Not sure on how good an idea this was but I placed myself between him and the exit, one of use is not getting out. I slowly creep up to the old dingy insulation and .....pounce.
Mr squirrel is now in my meat-hooks. What I did not remember was to get something to put him in. oh boy...Up the basement stairs through the dinning room ...watch out kids daddys coming through. Out the front door me and my new friend leave.

He left my hands in a petulant frenzy, turned and gave me a big squirrel FU!!!!

That cracked me up! So you saved the squirrel and also remained uninjured? That's pretty good! Did you figure out how he got in there so he dosen't make a squirrel line back to your basement?

A funny story indeed. I am impressed that you caught a squirrel in your hands, no matter how confined he was.
