Metz, you made me laugh out loud and now three of my Kitties are laying on the bed looking at me like I’m nutz…

Look at those toes!!!

He almost looks like he’s inquiring as to whether you may have been nice enough to bring him a bag of those loverly nuts…Seeing as to how you’re so nice and all…

8 Martha in Washington 06.30.07 at 8:05 pm

He is so adorable! I would give this li’l gentleman all the nuts he could want.
He reminds me of the little red squirrel that hangs upside-down just like that in our tree and makes little “cheeping” noises and drives our dog absolutely INSANE.

9 Alex Wells 06.30.07 at 8:20 pm

To me, he kinda looks like a real-life Hammy.

10 CatFan76 06.30.07 at 8:45 pm

“Have ya got any nuts? Have ya?? Huh? Huh? Huh?? Peanut? Hazelnut? Fruit & Nut??? Nutty nut bar??????”

“Aye, we ‘ad a whip-round as ‘t’nuts waren’t ’nuff fer ‘t’ole lot o’ us an’ us ‘ad t’send Gaz ’round corner for more. But thou’rt more’n welcum t’jine us.”

(desperately drawing on long-ago-read James Herriot books)

18 Jorden 06.30.07 at 10:35 pm

Oh my GOD.

20 Glen 06.30.07 at 10:56 pm

So much cuter than our local skwerls. They always look like they’re plotting something….

21 AuntieMame 06.30.07 at 11:23 pm

LOL, Suda.

“there are other english accents besides posh toff and cockerney y’know. /pedant”

You are quite right, elizabeth. But they’re hard to spell. Specially for us Murricans for whom an “accent” means either you pahk the cah in the yahd or you git them goldurned dogeys rollin’, y’all!

22 paula 06.30.07 at 11:33 pm

I loves squirrels – and this is why!!

23 Furbabies 06.30.07 at 11:55 pm

25 J. Bo 07.01.07 at 12:20 am

Evil, evil, evil…

26 Annie 07.01.07 at 12:26 am

Glen, He may look adorable but he is plotting. All sqwirls plot to take over the world.

27 J. Bo 07.01.07 at 12:47 am

See? Annie understands the true nature of squirrels– evil, evil squirrels…

28 metsakins 07.01.07 at 1:01 am

29 Brak_Silverbone 07.01.07 at 1:08 am

“License and registration, please!”

30 SeaBreeze 07.01.07 at 1:10 am

He … she … almost has the whole “baroo?” look to his … her … face.

Quickly followed by “Whatever ur eatin’ looks gravy! CanIHaveSome??”

31 violetgreen 07.01.07 at 1:17 am

Looks like the photographer had peanut-butter breath. Squirrelly thinks you’re holding out on him. Uh-oh.

32 M. V. 07.01.07 at 1:43 am

I’m pretty sure he’s Dramatic Prairie Dog’s cousin…

33 Cheryl Robinson-Atwood 07.01.07 at 1:59 am

Had a pet squirrel when I was a kid-Pasquali Caputo, aka Squeaky. Some door-to-door evangelists came around, Mom was patiently talking with them at the front door….knowing that Squeaky was about to run up her back, and abruptly appear on her shoulder. Never saw those particular evangelists again……

34 Christine H 07.01.07 at 2:10 am

I LOVE his colours! He’s beautiful as well as super cute.

35 pyrit 07.01.07 at 3:27 am

“My God man, you’re completely mad aren’t you?”

36 Dale 07.01.07 at 4:36 am

UC D Is? S, I C D Is. U?

41 Suda Nim 07.01.07 at 6:02 am

AuntieMame:

I had a can’t-say-Rs speech impediment as a kid, which was fixed with therapy and braces. When I was about 10, I met a woman who I thought had the same problem. It was only about 5 years later that I learned she had a Boston accent.

42 Kris 07.01.07 at 8:43 am

Completely off the subject but I thought you guys would get a get out of this :)

44 zosterops 07.01.07 at 10:57 am

that caption is soo funny, and even weirder soo credible…

45 Fia 07.01.07 at 12:05 pm

LOVE IT!

46 Annie 07.01.07 at 2:16 pm

J.bo Metsakins and Glen. No! Otters Plot, but squirrels have the military know how to pull off the whole operation. They have formed their own squirrel military. So while this squirrel is looking cute and adorable he is really gathering counter intelligence information.;)

47 metsakins 07.01.07 at 2:21 pm

Kris – WoW! that is quite a video…

(when my kids tell me that I’m an empty nester, I’m gonna show them that) new meaning to time on your hands

48 metsakins 07.01.07 at 2:25 pm

Annie -ahhh that’s why they go from tree to tree, they’re gathering information (and I always thoght tehy were gathering nuts…)

I see they have me completely fooled.

but if they were in league with the otters, they could use them for under sea intelligence!

49 Annie 07.01.07 at 2:30 pm

Metsakins, Yes you are correct! Lets hope the squirrels never connect with the Otters or mankind would be doomed. :D

50 Niina from Finland 07.01.07 at 2:46 pm

A squirrel from Finland with an English accent? Matti is a Finnish name.

51 J. Bo 07.01.07 at 4:04 pm

Everyone knows that squirrels use their powers for evil, while otters use their powers for awesome.

BIG difference.

52 R. Moore 07.01.07 at 6:55 pm

Another SO is crazy story…

We were sitting in a park eating sandwiches. A little squirrel came and looked at us. My SO was sure it was going to jump on us and we moved to a tree.
Another time, SO, friend and I were in this same park in the wee hours of the morning eating muffins. Another squirrel came up to us as we sat in the playground enjoying the light morning breeze. The squrriel got closer. And closer. And finally was practically on top of our feet begging for muffin. So we ran like mad away from the squirrel, because my SO had psyched us out about squirrels.

53 Ashley 07.01.07 at 7:02 pm

*Sidles up to skwerl.*
*Beeps zee skwerl nose.*
*Scurries away feverishly.*

54 donutbill 07.01.07 at 7:20 pm

That is SO NOT a real squirrel!!!

HAHAHAHA!!

Cutest rodent EVER!

55 Annie 07.01.07 at 7:37 pm

J.Bo you do know that otters use mind control right?

56 Sweet Lady 07.01.07 at 7:53 pm

“You talking to me? I said, ‘You TALKING to ME?’”

Squeee!!! Sowwies, Mr. Squirrel, I no needed nuffings!

57 metsakins 07.01.07 at 7:55 pm

I was always sure of otter mindcontrol, that’s why I thought squirry was in league with them.

R. – now I know he was listening into your conversation, not begging…Annie straightened me out

58 R. Moore 07.01.07 at 8:01 pm

Oh indeed! Such lovely tufted ears are well-tuned towards conversation.

59 Metz 07.01.07 at 9:31 pm

You still here?
I thought I told you to shoo!
Shoo! Go on!
I told ya I don’t have any treats for you!
Shoo! Get outta heah!
Pesky Humans!
