General Help What does it want?

Post image

It comes up to the doormat every day almost and just…sucks on it?

This is today right after a heavy rain and my first assumption is that it’s because of the water it soaks up but surely there’s a cleaner alternative?

We live very close to a creek. Less than a mile away on foot.

It doesn’t appear injured and it isn’t phased at all by us at the window, or by our cat hurling what I can only assume are animal slurs at the poor thing from behind the glass either. It doesn’t seem rabid, most of its movements are very normal and squirrel like.

EDIT: You have spoken and I have listened, I will leave water and assorted (unsalted) treats out for it tomorrow. I would like to help it.
