We have three cats, one of which is an outdoor cat, Norman. She will go after the birds, mice, moles etc, but just sits there and watches the squirrels. I have pictures of her and a squirrel 3-5 feet away, just looking at each other. On occasion she will make a feeble attempt to chase one, but not very fast or very long. She's eleven which could have some bearing.?? Just remember, there is no such thing as a squirrel proof bird feeder. Dave
Two things. Eleven is plenty old enough to have learned a lot of life's lessons, especially about squirrels, one of which is 'There is no end point in chasing a squirrel." It's more like "So, what happens THEN?"
And while cats are amazingly agile and fast, they are NOT squirrels, which, being smaller, etc., will always have the edge in speed and agility... More like "Supera Rodentii." <g>
