Lord Dudley Mountcatten heard something in the woodchuck burrow .
.
.
Lord Dudley Mountcatten investigated.
.

On the other end of the woodchuck burrow?
.
.
A woodchuck.
Lord Dudley Mountcatten switched sides and waited on that end.
.
.
Which meant a woodchuck popped up on the first side.
.
.
So His Lordship switched sides again and waited.
.
.
And finally, after Lord Dudley’s servant was tired of standing in the heat and about to drag him back in the house….

Interspecies communication.
Disclaimer – no woodchucks (or cats!) were harmed in the making of this blog.

Oh, great timing. Guess what I saw wandering in my backyard this morning for the first time in over a year?! Yes, apparently our woodchuck is back.

Do not listen to Rivergirl! Do not feed the chucks! 😀 Tara’s garden will be destroyed in no time.
Our chuck is very healthy looking and happily munching weeds. My cucumber plant so far has survived. 😎

Our chucks aren’t eating anything in my garden this time of year. They’re only destructive early in the season here…

You have a much larger yard than we do. I would probably give them scraps too if I had the space. 😀

The way they look at each other is adorable.
And yes, describing yourself as his servant is quite accurate. 😂

Theyve shared the yard since Spring. They should be used to each other, even if only by scent.

This is such a cool sequence…not sure it’s communication, especially as intraspecies communication is such a battle, especially for cats. We have a fox that comes to our backdoor every night (for supper) – our cat is ambivalent about it…

We have a pair of foxes who visit every night as well. Our cat is scared of them and hides under the bed if he sees them…

I thought Dudley would swat at him or the chuck would hide, but they seemed content to just… be.

I think animals have ESP. I bet they were chatting.
