I don't see the lazy buggers we have ever exerting themselves to drag cardboard up any trees, either. Mine haul many small loads of dead leaves, but won't do any heavy lifting.

They really are lazy when they can afford to be! I live in an area with lots of old mast-producing trees and shrubs, so I lose very few tomatoes to squirrels. I cover the low-hanging large tomatoes when they reach mature green size with organza bags or panty hose, and that's enough to make the lazy buggers give up. Although I resigned myself to letting them have some of my cherry tomatoes since covering those fruit would be a hassle, it turns out they've been uninterested in them except for the occasional Maglia Rosa or Sungold. They're lazy but they have good taste, I guess.
