    Default Squirrel purring? Kinda?

    Whenever I’m close to Jimmy’s cage he does this sound. I don’t know quite how to explain it. It’s a low “humph”, multiple times while I’m standing there. Kindof a rolling humph, humph, humph. I’d like to take it as a term of endearment. Any thoughts?

    I happy I read a previous thread about not getting near him with food or eating bc he has chastised me and turned his back. He also has pushed my fingers away. I won’t do that anymore.

    I am learning so much on here, so thanks everyone.

    I just love that sound. I call it the oink. Sounds like a little pig to me. It’s a curious, happy sound.
    My Susie always made that sound. Even as an adult she made that sound.

    By the way, some squirrels do purr. It is the sweetest thing ever.

    Jimmy is adorable.
