Today I hid from Mom and listened to her call me and watched her search the yard. Finally, I came out of the bushes and let her "find" me.
Then I played Kill The Branch for a while. Sundance wouldn't pose for a picture. He was too busy racing through the house, jumping on tables and knocking over glasses and lamps, etc. But, I know what most of you want. You want to see the squirrels--because they're so freaking CUTE. So here they are. Remember they won't look like this for long.
Mom was making such a big deal because they finally opened their eyes. She talks to them in some kind of weird squirrel language. "Look at my smoochy poos....I luv you kaboodles and kissykins your fuzzy noggins." I swear, I'm embarrassed for her. She's regressing.
All they do is eat, sleep and poop.
I know for a fact that I was a lot cuter than this when I was a kitten.
Oh well, it Weekend Cat Blogging and the hosts this week are the fabulously talented Amar and the gorgeous Luna at CatSynth.Com. Go over there and see what's kicking.
Note: If you find a baby squirrel, place it in a box and keep it warm (a heating pad under the box, with a towel on top of the pad is a good way to keep them warm). Contact a wildlife rehabilitator as soon as possible. Do not attempt to feed or give water. You might be able to find a rehabilitator in your area, on the Internet. They're cute--but they are wild animals.
They are wonderful creatures to watch!
You do get great pictures!!

Don't worry, we will always love you Upsie even though those baby squirrels do look kinda cute.

Go Upsie! Kill that branch! Stupid branches! I think you're ferocious. If I was a branch, I'd be totally scared of you! Cute little squirrels too!

Those ARE some cute little baby squirrels.
Although not as cute as you, Upsie.

I think you should let Upsie name them. I'd love to see what names she came up with!
Hi Sher! I'm finally back on the internets!

Sooooo cute! Good job on raising them...they are getting big!
Great picture of Upsie attacking the branch.

They are adorable!
I've only seen one squirrel in the 11 years we have lived around Europe.
As I've often been told "The (insert nationality here) eat anything and everything"

The photos are too cute. Upsie, what big fangs you have! Hopefully next week Sundance will be more cooperative when it comes to sitting still for a photograph. Have a great weekend.

Upsie, you will always be cuter than any squirrel I will ever see, including your baby squirrel roommates. That said, they are pretty adorable, but not nearly as adorable as you!

Oh, Upsie you are a very naughty girl ;-P! Very sweet, as usual...
I can understand that you Mom is regressing. Those squirrels are extremely adorable! If I had them in my house, I would have already lost my sense of dignity! I'd be cooing all day long...

Awww babies!! So cute and adorable! Ok you're cute and adorable to Upsie...but in a whole other way. Kind of a furball and attitude sort of cute...and that's pretty darn cute :o)
Posted by: Joy T. | March 24, 2007 at 06:50 PM
Oh Upsie, you are the darling kitty, and no doubt you were the cutest furball as a kitten. But you have to admit it Upsie, those two little guys are just darling too!

Kill the Branch is a favorite game at our house, too; good thing that there are always new branches around for killing, or life could become dull.
I'm sure you were an adorable kitten, Upsie, but those squirrel babies are pretty darn cute.

The baby squirrels are adorable but, Upsie, you are stunningly beautiful!!
