I think Florida is trying to tell me something…
I opened my sliding glass door to take advantage of the slightly cooler (70s), lower-humidity weather we’ve been having here. I took a deep breath of the delightful midmorning air, scented by my pot of fast-growing herbs and tomato plants… what the hell is that smell???
A dead squirrel is currently bloating up right outside my patio screens, under the shrubs. Even my cats seem disgusted. I know who the culprit is… my next-door neighbors have two cats also, but they let them run around outside. I think the male cat is trying to make friends with Xena, my younger cat. Unfortunately she hates all other cats and goes into danger-murder wail mode whenever she sees him. Ah, romance.
Update: maintenance has been called, and they will remove the odoriferous ex-beastie. See, that’s why I rent.

I came out in the carport once a couple years back & found THE BOTTOM HALF of a squirrel. Cat we had in California used to bring live rats home. Young girl kitty goes after baby birds in the nest.
Seldom a dull moment.

That’s why my cats stay indoors. I still have to keep them from getting lizards… fortunately my younger cat is an inept hunter, and the older one is too old to care.

A certain wife of mine doesn’t worry about it, because that’s why she has a husband — critter removal. I don’t know if that’s cheaper than renting or not.
