Norman Albers Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 I have spoken with long-legged spiders; I have exchanged briefly with cougars; I have talked at two-minute length with red fox. I want to know what other people have experienced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norman Albers Posted January 31, 2009 Author Share Posted January 31, 2009 (edited) The spider, a long-legged one in my tiled shower, emitted a little squeak a few octaves above middle C, presumably saying "don't start the water and flush me." First I thought, sure I've been tuning too many pianos. I had not yet started the water and crouched down next to it on the floor, and it squeaked again, twice, so I moved it outside. The cougar shrieked, warning me to stay away from it and its two cubs. I no longer blunder outside after dark to take a wizz. The red fox has me feeling ignorant. I first met it last winter when I was stacking some sticks down in the drainage. It was adolescent and looked at me from 15 feet away. I stayed crouched, talked softly, and it started walking to me. Halfway it caught itself and stopped. This past Sept. I was loading things into my station wagon one mid-morning, and the fox appeared. They have an air voice, "AAh-ah aah ah" sort of thing. After carrying on most of a minute, with me answering saying yes I am leaving, my beautiful friend, it moved a few feet and continued. I was stunned but now I am wondering if it was complaining about the cessation of all my watering. Maybe I should have just dripped a hose instead of marveling at it.
