(81,857 posts)Those little paws are really something else, aren't they! There was a family of three living in the little mini "woods" behind our house, and they'd waddle over to our back yard probably for the extra cat kibble. We started watching. Then we started watching while not concealed. They got used to seeing us. There came one point where we tried giving one of them some food. The mom got so used to us that she'd lumber up the back steps and actually reach out and take some kibble with her front paws, while standing up on her hind feet. It felt so odd - those little "fingers" pulling across my fingers, grabbing the kibble. We left a bowl of water outside, too. And sure enough, if they had food, they often washed it off in the bowl of water. FASCINATING behaviors to watch. Just totally enthralling!!!
