I think there needs to be a “Splayed Toes” category.

5 snorglepup 05.06.08 at 12:41 am

I’ll fill my pockets with peanuts and he can ride on my shoulder.

6 Gail 05.06.08 at 12:44 am

20 scooterpants 05.06.08 at 3:12 am

two please, w/ a side of snorglesssses.
adorable pic.

21 compy-saur 05.06.08 at 3:12 am

Look at this round forehead and its behbee propohshuns. Then, there are shiny black eyes that seem suspiciously over-sized for the skull. Then, there are the tufts of fuzz on the ears (I nominate ear tufts for one of our rules). Then, we have the tail with its sparse fuzzes. Finally, we cannot overlook the too-large foots, upon which the behbee has its haunchings.

This is probably one of the most all-inclusive examples of cuteness I have ever SEEN.

*admiring again*

22 berthaservant 05.06.08 at 3:57 am

I can’t believe Meg is posting this! Urban squirrels are subject to disease and some of them get addicted to crack in public parks! There is nothing cute about this photo!

(Oh, sorry, forgot to set my “sarcasm” typeface).

23 Hon Glad 05.06.08 at 6:37 am

I may look cute, but I am still taking over the world.

24 Subhangi 05.06.08 at 10:45 am

SQUEEEEEEERELL!!

25 Kimbunny 05.06.08 at 10:51 am

Could someone PUHLEEZE animate the eye capsules so that they go “plink plink?

thank you veddy much!

26 pistache268 05.06.08 at 10:59 am

OMG BIG HEAD COMPARED TO BODY!

27 Emmerly 05.06.08 at 11:31 am

Hehehehe, his little head almost looks like it has a faux-hawk!!!

Squee-bounce!!!

omgwhatacutie

*highfives berthaservant*

*pouts that her bebeh squirrel photos never get posted…is it because they don’t have hair yet and sort of look like little old men? but they’re still anerable! anyway, can’t stay pouting for long because this guy is so prosh.*

28 Tally 05.06.08 at 12:36 pm

Awww! I shall share my toast with heem!

29 Wendy 05.06.08 at 12:49 pm

Yummy!

30 Babs 05.06.08 at 1:04 pm

Prosh prosh prosh. What a sweet wee bebeh.

31 leash it 05.06.08 at 1:21 pm

berthaservant, maybe the squirrel would be cuter on a leash?

32 Meers 05.06.08 at 1:30 pm

Oh, the feetz!! Spread toesez!!

33 jen 05.06.08 at 2:07 pm

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!

*poit*

34 zeldapie 05.06.08 at 2:19 pm

LURVE THE SKWERL BABY!!

I fed three tiny red skwerls last week at the Wildlife Rehab Center. Tee hee! Their little bellies got all nice ‘n plump and they got into a snooze pile after dinner. SOOOO cute.
(Also fed a bajillion baby gray skwerls. Ultra cute.)

35 Katrina 05.06.08 at 2:26 pm

Here is a very fun game to play with friends and new acquaintances. You look at them whistfully and ask the perfectly serious question, “If you had your choice of a tail, what kind of tail would you want?” It is just wonderful how it brings out sharing in people. ME? An anteater’s tail. How about you, Berthaservant and Andrea H. and Zeldapie?

36 zeldapie 05.06.08 at 3:34 pm

Oh gosh, I think a Ring-Tailed LEMUR tail would be fabulous!

37 jules 05.06.08 at 4:44 pm

Oh dear GOD. *head splodes*

They’re not so cute when they grow up and start rearranging all the bulbs in our garden…but Junior here is a doll! I’m totally going to sqrl-nap him.

38 Kris 05.06.08 at 5:19 pm

I watched a mama squirrel teach her baby how to get up and down out of the tree a few months ago. It was adorable. That baby squirrel is still hanging around – occasionally sitting on our front porch taunting the dogs.

39 Kris 05.06.08 at 5:22 pm

I would like to have a Leopard’s tail. Beautiful, expressive and always a fashion statement.

40 momof2kitties 05.06.08 at 5:57 pm

Raccoon tailio 4 me, please! Just don’t make it into a hat.

41 berthaservant 05.06.08 at 6:07 pm

Wow! What a great question!

I’d like to be snarky and say “A snake tail” but I hate snakes and everyone knows it (or should)…

…but I’m going to be boring and say a cat’s tail (Bertha’s is kind of floofy). I like dog tails, too, but they tend to be kind of active and fleshy (perfectly fine for dogs). I’d like something that reflects general contentment. I love it when cats are lying down and have the kind of soft tail flapping.

For aesthetic purposes, the squirrel/raccoon tails are also tops.

42 zeldapie 05.06.08 at 7:10 pm

I’m going to change my mind. I’d like a gorgeous horse tail, and then someone could please braid it with red ribbons!!

43 Theo 05.06.08 at 7:50 pm

Katrina: AFTERBURNERS

44 Katrina 05.06.08 at 8:06 pm

Theo: OUCH! Good luck with that. Burning fur/hair/backside? And you would have to be last in a parade…..

[Aw, go see Iron Man. THAS' what I'm TALKIN' 'bout. Or, heck, maybe even Rocky from Bullwinkle... - Ed.]

Come on peeps, what kind of tail would you want? Anybody for a prehensile tail? Hmm?
Zeldpie- I will be happy to braid your tail with red ribbon, I like to think we all would. You can have a mane, too, if you like!

45 zeldapie 05.06.08 at 9:31 pm

Thanks, Katrina. A mane sounds terrific! Wheee, I get ribbons!

46 Gail 05.06.08 at 11:27 pm

Ooooh, horsie tail might be good. But I think a silky kitteh tailio would be good…..I could tap it really fast when I get annoyed or very gently when I’m all happiezz.

47 Leilani 05.07.08 at 1:13 am

GAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!!!! I done died and gone to skwerly heaven!!!

48 spb 05.07.08 at 3:05 am
