The local animal control had put a cage in our backyard with cat food in it to attract some ferrel cats that were wandering the neighborhood. The next day we looked out and saw a skunk in the cage. The little guy even made a bed by pulling pine straw into the cage. Uh oh - how are you going to get the skunk out of that cage without it squirting you?! Well, the animal control officer came out and he wouldn't go near it. Later, my husband carefully made friends with the skunk and it never sprayed him! He took about 12 pics of the cute little guy (a young one), and almost decided to have it fixed so it wouldn't spray. My husband actually wanted to keep it as his pet! We ended up deciding to set it free. He really was cute, even if he was a stinker... Speaking of skunks – my husband almost decided to adopt one.
