Potluck?

Looks like Cole . . . but not Cole.
Our family pet, Cole Cat, has apparently located the Mother Lode of chipmunks.
He roams his domain – that being our yard and half of each neighboring yard – on a regular basis. Spring is his favorite hunting season as every small rodent is coming out of hibernation and looking for food.
The Dastardly Chip Steals Chris's Muffin 1987
While he generally finds field mice or voles, this spring he is focusing exclusively on chipmunks. In fact, he has in the past two weeks brought us no fewer than five of the poor little varmints – and has been seen with others. We wonder if he was coached by Chris to channel his energies in this direction, since Chris was victimized by a large chipmunk as a youngster – his muffin was stolen by Chip at Disney World – and he has long sought revenge.
I suspect that Hotel Chipmunk (soon to be renamed Chipmunk Cafe) is under the porch next door, where some old building materials are stashed. This is on his morning and afternoon rounds, and probably evenings as well. I suppose it’s better than having him roving further afield where the cars are more prevalent . . . but finding one dead chipmunk under the bedroom settee is one more than we need.
