I"M NOT SAYIN' I know what's going on here. But he could have been someone's pet. He's not afraid of people and perhaps jumping on them was a behavior he learned. I had a pet squirrel when I was young. FYI, squirrels ALMOST NEVER carry rabies. They live in trees, and rarely come into contact with animals that mainly forage and live on ground, like skunks and raccoons, who are the main carriers of the disease. My source of info: the local wildlife and game dept, and state dept of health.

I was told a vey long time ago that rabies is extrememly rare in non-meat eating animals. However, there have been incidents of bubonic plague being carried by wild squirrels. So, lets not get squirrely(sp?) about this, eh!? They should trap this little bugger and see what his problem is. It ain't exactly brain surgery to trap a squirrel.
