My family used to have a cat that was an expert hunter and would routinely bring down squirrels. This wasn't a very big cat but I once found the cat in the bathroom with a squirrel almost about the size of the cat. It was quite a sight watching the cat bite into the squirrel carcass' head.
A squirrel once broke through my attic into my water heater closet and it jumped 10 feet to escape my racket. I eventually caught the sucker with a laundry basket, but before I knew it, he ran out through the handle. At that point I knew that my squirrel melt would have to wait till another day, and I let the little guy jump off my balcony.
