Fat ball thievery = Fat thief

Well done squirrel! It took three days of thinking and plotting, but one of the squirrels finally discovered how to get to the fat ball outside the kitchen window. Here's how it's done:
1. jump from grass to picnic table
2. jump from picnic table to narrow kitchen window ledge
3. sun along kitchen window ledge and jump vertically up the wall to grab fat ball (this is achieved after several failed attempts that end in - probably painful - falls onto garden pots
4. eat fat ball until the netting is so damaged that fat ball and squirrel fall down onto pots
5. take fallen piece of fat ball and jump onto fence to eat it in full view of the people who paid for the fat ball so that birds will not go hungry
6. lie sprawled on shed roof feeling very, very fat, and content

The squirrel wins! Today we bought squirrel-proof feeders.
