When I was attending the University of Washington decades (and decades) ago, there were a lot of squirrels on campus. I think people used to feed them because they certainly weren’t afraid of humans. I stopped to look at one years ago and the varmint suddenly ran up my pants–the outside of my pants, not inside them thank heavens!–and my shirt and sat on my shoulder. Totally freaked me out.

I froze and stayed perfectly still until he got bored and scampered back down.

My feelings about squirrels has never been the same since then.
