A man has struck up an unusual friendship with a confident squirrel who visits his house for dinner every day.

Jake Davis, 25, said the fluffy rodent has been hanging out with him in his London home daily since he first discovered it nearly a month ago.

Jake said: ‘The squirrel has been coming to us for about three weeks, and it comes every day.

‘I think it is getting bolder. It likes to come in the house and have a little wander around, and gets on the couch.’


The cyber security worker has named the critter Cyber Squirrel because of its fondness for looking at his laptop screen.

He said the rodent eats a variety of food and they serve him cashew nuts, almonds and pine nuts – something he calls a ‘pretty balanced nutritional diet’.



He added: ‘I think it is probably the most well fed squirrel in London.’

Jake said that since Cyber Squirrel started his regular visits, he has been getting bolder.

With several more rodents in his garden, the animal is the only one brave enough to enter Jake’s house.

‘There are about six or seven squirrels in the garden but I think they have observed that the house is its territory.

‘We are talking about getting a squirrel flap,’ he joked.

Jake added: ‘We are very timid with it and try to be quite still when it’s around.

‘It’s a nice little critter that comes by when I’m working or reading.’
