Not to downplay the advancement of humans, but the squirrels on our block created a "Superhighway" between garages, fences and garbage cans. Every garbage receptacle on our block has a hole in it, created by squirrels. We regularly watch them eat lunch on top of our garbage can.
My parent's cat catches birds and mice not often but more often than not as cats will do.
But she is absolutely baffled by squirrels who seem psychotic or at the very least capable of being in multiple places at once. They seem to jump and in mid-flight change their mind and direction as if to defy the laws of physics.
Cats are predators used to patterns and predictability so I wonder if that's a squirrels defense to be absolutely unpredictable, and bonkers.
edit: And I'm disappointed the story didn't have more of a tech twist like using an Arduino or Raspberry Pi on each hole to track the movement of the hedgehogs.

I don't think that's how it works.
