Look What The Cat Dragged In

[Water Rat]

Found this little guy on my steps yesterday afternoon , courtesy of our cat.

I tried to pick him up to see if he was injured , but thought better of it when he started growling at me.

So I caught him in my striper net and released him near a coon den in the woods behind my house. He scampered up a tree apparently unharmed. No sign of the mother which was kind of surprising to me.

cute lil bugger. In HS my buddy had 2 little ones that their mama got  hit by car. We stuffed them in our shirts while riding our bikes to go fishing. They loved going fishing with us. Really fun to watch. My dad and brothers also used to have pet ones. They all worked at a golf course, my brothers and dad , not the coons lol. They'd sit on the golf cart seat and ride around. Dad's would sit on the back of his truck seat. Dad always had starmints in his front shirt pocket. Coon would reach into his pocket and steal a piece, unwrap it and eat it.
