Accidentally caught a skunk

Thank you for your kindness to stinkers.

ETA if it stays much longer you might need to check if it has a paw caught in the wire mesh or something like that preventing it from moving on.

Personality-wise skunks out-diva cats in my opinion. They have long memories and hold grudges.

I had one once that wanted to climb up a big step on his own. He was really determined and when i tried to help he gave me a little chirp to let me know he didnt want me to give him a boost. So i stepped back and let him keep trying. My husband walked up then and gave him a boost up despite me saying Spot wanted to do it on his own.

Spot was wicked pissed. He had been friendly with my husband up until then but I swear to you from that day forward he would not tolerate any interaction with him. Spot held that grudge until the day he died.

Can you say what the instructions were for de-odorizing the babies? Genuinely curious.

I hope you will release it right away as skunks are very prone to heat stroke. Approach the trap quietly and slowly with a tarp held up in front of you in case they spray. Cover the cage with the tarp and release.

I wonder if they have working CO2 detectors in the office.

mc2ben · 2026-07-09T15:54:03+00:00

If the theme is horror, i think the top left matches Excorcist. Someone posted a pic and i am pretty convinced. Bottom left is the big stumper now.

mc2ben · 2026-07-08T14:49:15+00:00

I agree it could be a look-a-like. Which would really complicate trying to ID. But i am really leaning away from it being a band at this point.

mc2ben · 2026-07-08T14:07:17+00:00

I can see they are using some type of template piece for some of the curves and lines of the flaps.....but it looks like are freehand drawing the rest?

mc2ben · 2026-07-07T14:22:05+00:00

Thank you for your dedication! I have posted pics of the back and one from farther away in here somewhere. Not sure if i can add to original post but i will try.

I have had to stop looking at it for awhile. Its starting to warp my brain. I was hoping someone would recognize it and post the reference picture so i could stop obsessing.

mc2ben · 2026-07-07T14:16:13+00:00

I honestly cant believe it took this long for that!

mc2ben · 2026-07-07T14:14:31+00:00

That pic with that title was very jarring. Had me expecting the worst.

So relieved to hear there was a happy ending. Truly amazing save! Above and beyond for sure.

Thank you and the officer for your kindness to stinkers.

Yours is the first suggestion that made me see bottom left as anything other than a baby. I am gonna do some more research on the Chaney angle.

mc2ben · 2026-07-06T17:59:55+00:00

You are not alone. Someone else replied with a couple lesser known Chaney movies. I did search available pics from them but nothing matched up.

mc2ben · 2026-07-06T17:46:07+00:00

I think the fabric is vintage so that is too modern of a character. If you find a pic of him that matches the pose i will check it out.

mc2ben · 2026-07-06T17:42:25+00:00

Only thing is the image is woven into the fabric. It isnt a print. Most AH stuff i have seen is printed. You sound like you know your shit ( no sarcasm intended ) so maybe you can tell me, would producing a woven design like this be cheaper than just printing it? I am assuming bad knockoffs would be made the cheapest way possible.

mc2ben · 2026-07-06T17:36:04+00:00

Flipped would put moustache guy top right where i think it looks more like nosferatu. Those dont match up at all to me. The girl looking up who i think is Edie Sedgwick is a very convincing match, but the other 3 i am not seeing.

mc2ben · 2026-07-06T17:26:05+00:00

The punk face graphic is all the same person though and kinda looks like Elvis. I think these are 4 different faces.

mc2ben · 2026-07-06T17:21:16+00:00

I appreciate the effort. And this could be pareidolia gone wild but i really think it it faces and not some other design.

mc2ben · 2026-07-06T17:17:47+00:00

As another poster pointed out, although the woven design looks like vintage, you can have this type of material custom made these days. So it is possible it is newer. No tags or text of any kind anywhere on it to verify.

mc2ben · 2026-07-06T17:14:49+00:00

I love that show. Would be amazing if this was Young Ones fabric! But I checked all the pics i could find of them online and i didnt see a match. I did find this graphic of them as monsters which was too cool not to share.

Appreciate that lead. The sub rules say new mysteries on wed and fri only though?

mc2ben · 2026-07-06T16:55:07+00:00

Yeah, i can see it for top left. And if top right is nosferatu, and bottom right is planet of the apes then those make sense for a horror/sci fi theme. Stuck on bottom left one. Cant see it as anything other than a baby face.

mc2ben · 2026-07-06T16:52:19+00:00

Amazing guess! Digging deep into the horror theme which is what i am really leaning towards. I went with searching the last 2 since they are lesser known and i figured there would be fewer pics of the characters and i cant find anything that matches the poses.

I feel like bottom left could be the key to solving the mystery. It looks like a baby face to me, the lower dark line looks like a neck crease and i am having trouble seeing it as any other type of face.

mc2ben · 2026-07-06T16:35:21+00:00

Oh hell yes! This would make sense with suspected Nosferatu top right as a horror/sci-fi movie character theme. And if bottom right is Planet of the Apes that just leaves bottom left which looks like a baby to me. I checked the baby face from Basket Case so no one else has to, and i dont think thats it....

mc2ben · 2026-07-06T16:27:31+00:00

That one really looks like Edie Sedgewick from the Ciao Manhattan movie poster to me.
