No less than the scheming little tree-rats deserve!
We used to have a garden that backed onto some woods, so we saw plenty of wildlife - birds, bunnies, and yes, squirrels. The squirrels were very good at stealing seed from the birdfeeder, so I ended up hanging it from the middle of the washing line.
The squirrels just shimmied along the line to it.
Except that this was too much effort for one, who in a terrifying display of reasoning and foresight tried to chew through the line to bring the feeder down to earth. He nearly bloody succeeded, too.
