I hate it.  The first time, the invaders were a couple of female humans carrying lots of noisy tools and smelly liquids.  They caught me while I was under the dining table watching the squirrels.  It was scary!  I barely escaped in time to get under the bed.  <\/p>\n<p>Bayla and I stayed there while they made a terrific racket and rubbed stinky stuff all over the pace.  My eyes watered for hours. Days later, the smell still lingers. I don&#8217;t know how humans can stand it.<\/p>\n<p>Yesterday was the second time.  Luckily, Bayla and I were already on the bed, so we just crawled under as fast as we could.  Good thing!  Big male humans came into every room, pushed buttons, and made strange noises.  <\/p>\n<p>At least they were gone quickly.  Those other humans were around for hours!  They set a trap, though.
