This was written in the 80s, but still rings true today in our current situation

I had a feral we rescued who literally tore the fascia off our front door to get outside at wildlife. I dubbed him Oswald bc he was the assassin of squirrels, leaving their parts on the doorstep as a token of his appreciation.

That was years ago, and we have kept all of ours inside since.

Like a lot of air-cooled VWs of that era, it appears to have a different engine in it....I think it has a 1.7liter engine out of a Porsche 914
