|  [House&Home] Is anyone good at identifying rodents?
Hi,
My cat may have killed a flying squirrel, but I'm not very good at identifying dead rodents. Is there anyone here who can identify one is it worth my taking a few pictures?

Norwich, CT | Flying Squirrels will be about the size of a red haired squirrel. It will have pockets on each side extending down from both from legs to the back. Normally the tails of the northern ones are about the length of the entire body. |

|  The lighting isn't good tonight, I'll post some pictures in the late morning / early afternoon. Are flying squirrels native to Connecticut?

Ya I'm Here | Oh yes for sure. Also does not look like the common red flying squirrel .. but hard to say since his fur is wet. I think there nocturnal also. That's why we never see them out about much. |

First Sarah Palin bags Bullwinkle and now this psychotic cat kills Rocky.I can tell by the look in that cats eye that it is a very disturbed feline.
