I especially love the part where the enemy rodent tries to gnaw the eyes out of the fucking head. And terrorizes a cat that is easily ten times its size—twice.
See, this is the kind of slick PR campaign the squirrels are running with the eager assistance of their human slaves 27/7/365. Shit like this shows up in my feeds on the regular, with little smileys and winkies and hearts and quips like “This may be the cutest thing you see all day!”
Sure. If I thought spreading the Black Plague to innocent stuffed animals was “cute.”

I was not aware that squirrels manage to fit 27 hours into each and every day.
Now I’m really terrified.

Looked to me it was the hoomans who scared teh cat off, not the sqwerril.

Iris, what are you doing!? That squirrel is humpin’ the bejezuus outta that thing! That’s hard core XXX squirrel porn, that’s what that is!

I saw an all-black squirrel today. Are they rare? Was it a squirrel ninja? I didn’t try to hit it with my car, but it ran across the road in front of me. Am I cursed now?

Toy raccoon looks a lot like a toy dog…

Marcus@5: One of the funniest (and somewhat scary) things I saw while riding a motorcycle was a squirrel dart out from the side of the road in front of a bike (we were riding in a group, it was two bikes in front of me) stopped nearly right in front of the tire, before darting back the other way. We were all experienced riders, and the guy just swerved a bit to dodge, but it looked from my vantage like the squirrel thought he was going to jump the guy and take his motorcycle, but he noticed the rest of us. Wish I had my GoPro running that ride. :)

Marcus – depends on where you are. there are quite a few places in Connecticut with large numbers of black squirrels though I only saw my first in my home town about a month ago.
