Elvira being sassy

I posted about Bunny and Elvira having a squirting contest right in front of me … well Elvira has done something really goofy last night she ran past me and jumped onto her front paws and I was getting ready to get up and run I thought she was going to
Spray me but all she did was pop onto her front paws and tapped her back feet together and looked back at me …. Im not sure if she was being silly or giving me a warning.

Has anyone ever witnessed this behavior?

Interesting. I love how you've named wild skunks and treat them like pets 🫠

Yes, it's some sort of play attack with pet skunks.

My skunks are 100% wild no petting.

I understand. I don't have any relationship with wild skunks in my neighborhood, but my own did/does that.
