A very interesting post. I am grateful for the time you spent to write it, not to mention inspired. It's actually the first time in my life I've discussed interspecies sharing where squirrels were concerned and your reply gives me food for thought.

One thing I abseloutly think is silly are cats using weapons. Their limbs might be adapted to use them, but not having proper digits they'd have to be surgically altered to hold them and that would severely hamper their agility.

Is this the sort of thing that we're worried about?
