Squirrels Bowling in my Attic


As the colder weather has moved in for the season, so also have a few fluffy tailed friends moved into our attic....
They seem to be diligent about bringing in dinner almost nightly and yet as we listen to them come back in from out of the cold with food, we have started to wonder if they are just really bored and are having some quality squirrel family time.
As the pattern goes, there is scampering followed by a loud "thud" of a nut and then we hear it rolling down the steep angle of the attic roof.

The first time I heard this, I had a vivid image of Scratch lunging after the lost nut.....



But as it goes in our attic, the dropping and rolling is quite frequent, so bowling it must be. So what I want to know is, does whoever wins the bowling match get all the nuts?
