      Oh ya... Hell we've all been there. Did you at least buy her some breakfast? Your not the only one to well... You know... Fornicate with a skunk. There so cute and that musty smell. I've woke up a couple times with a lady skunk sleeping on my arm. Learn one time that you DO NOT want to try tonight sneak away. Don't make er angry. What I do remember from those experiences is that they get wild those sounds give me flashbacks rrreeeiighhh rereeeeiigghh rRRRREEEIIIIGHHH O GOD REEEEEEEEEEEEEeeeee er rrr rrrrr hmmm.... She was a one of a kind. Her boyfriend showed up at my house with some buddies trying to get me to fight him. I didn't want nothing to do with it. Then couple months later she had quadrooplets and I was gonna take that shit to court but you could tell they were mine cuz they all looked half human half skunk so ya... Don't feel bad. Hell we just recently got married and got nuther litter on the way the quads are doing great getting good grades on the swim team billy got sponsored by puma shure its not Nike but he's a 3rd grade skunkhuman. So ya pay attention next time. Hell I I've got 5 or 6 different species kids running around from armadillo to bass hell possums. Hell I coined that old joke myself "what's the difference between a oppossum and an armadillo? A light switch. Oh ya that was me. Made it on Carson got me my 15 min of fame. Ya sorry got lost there just make sure they all carry a shot card to make sure they've been properly inoculated that way you know your not getting some ole coon that just come crawling out of a dumpster. That's all I've got for ya. Oh and do not try out the dolphins.

    I found about 6 living under my Ohio house deck a few days ago. They come out and play at dusk rolling around and chasing each other around the yard. Probably a little family. I've heard them making this sound. I haven't smelled them yet. So, as long as they leave me alone there won't be an issue. Skunk Lives Matter.

    A mama and baby skunk have taken to visiting me. I heard some chortle like noises and proceeded to investigate. About 4 feet away was a skunk headed right towards me. After a very quick retreat inside, I watched her cruise by like she owned the place...which at that time she certainly did. Trailing her was her baby with the tail straight up. I was fortunate, but my cat....not so much.

    Earlier tonite my dad heard a noise outside our house. (We live in South Jersey right outside Philly.) He came and told me what he heard and saw. He told me he saw a little kitten wandering around our front yard. Me being the cat obsessed dork that I am, I wanted to see. We also have 2 cats of our own. We also have a skunk or 2 that live in our backyard. I don't know much about skunks except that they spray a rancid smelling mist when they feel threatened and are nocturnal. We both heard the kind of high pitched meowing noise again, then saw the skunk run against this planter wall we have in our yard that divides us from our next door neighbors' yard. It ran right into their yard and I was like OMG!!!! It kinda sounded like a bird almost. Thank you for clearing that up for us.

      I have a family of skunks under my house that I’ve gotten to know. I give them a small amount of food every night. Skunks are actually really sweet animals. They don’t spray unless they are cornered. You don’t have to run inside the second you see one. Mine will take food out of my hand. They even like to sit on my feet, I can see why they are popular pets. I love just hanging out with them learning their different personalities, at times I’ll shave as many as 10 around me and not once have I felt threatened.

    I started to take my dog out to potty... nope, not in back. So went to front door... smelled every bit as strong there. The quandary... pup needs to pot, but there's clearly a visitor near. Chose the back... and while he's doing his business I hear those little chirps. Luckily pup finished sorta quickly and we retreated.

    Many years ago our largish dog got sprayed in the face. She came running in from pottying and ran through the house. Then I smelled burning rubber and was running around the house trying to find what was burning. That's when I learned that skunk spray up close smells like burning rubber! At least the variety we had did.

    I was just walking a trail in Toronto and heard what I thought was a rabbit distress cry. As I standard and wait to see or hear what got it, instead I see a small skunk back out of some bushes with its back arched, screaming at something in the brush. It did this for about 30 seconds and then ran off down another path towards some more brush.
    Not sure what it was screaming at, didn't want to get too close in case there was another one there, or an aggressive coyote or fisher. Wondering now if an Owl got one without it spraying and spooked the one I saw.

    I usually hear cats and dogs in the neighborhood and while I was getting some bottles ready for my son I heard a strange noise among the many cat noises I hear my cats weren't making any noise this morning they were just eating their food and mind you I have two cats that are outside right now and the other one is inside so she doesn't get pregnant she gets spayed later this month. And I knew skunks usually wandered about our neighborhood that was just the first time I heard one so I looked up the sound to be sure that that was what I was and that is definitely what I heard I am so glad that my cats know better than to mess with a skunk. Our neighbors dog however was not that lucky.
