» Jojo - Hi there Diana There is a squirrel infesting my home. Further

There is a squirrel infesting my home. Furthermore, my 3 cats don't seem to mind at all.

The squirrel started out by prising the nuts off my door wreath, and is now coming in through the cat door. He/she doesn't stir up too much fuss, and has never pooped inside. He/she just goes straight to the cat food dish. He/she is a very polite squirrel. I feel he/she must come in when we are not home, but never tries to get into the bread box, the cupboards, or compost, unless he/she is just very good at cleaning up after him/herself.

You may have gathered by now that I don't know his/her sex. Is there anyway to tell without picking up the animal and doing the traditional inspection?
