WCB: Guest Hosts, The Squirrels

This week vermin are hosting Weekend Cat Blogging.  If you wish to take part, leave a comment here or e-mail us at upsie {AT} yahoo {DOT} com.  We will add each kitty at the end of this post, as they come in.  Don't forget The Friday Ark, Bad Kitty Cats Festival of Chaos at Cassie & Gang at This That And The Other, and The Carnival of the Cats at Justin's Random Thoughts.  Signed, Upsie

Hi, remember us?  We are almost growed up and everything.  Tomorrow mommy is going to put us in the big outdoor cage.  We are very happy about that.  Remember what we looked like a couple months ago?  Well, things have changed.  The Western Gray squirrels left a couple weeks ago to be wilded up in Sacramento.  They were really scary dudes.  In case you forgot, we are Fox squirrels and we aren't as big as the Grays.

This is what a typical Fox squirrel day is like.  Whenever mommy opens the cage door, we all try to swarm her and search for nuts in her pockets.

Ahhhhh, acorns.  So delicious!  Why don't you people ever make recipes with them?

Some of us like to show off by eating our acorns hanging upside down.

Finally, we apologize to Isabella at Interrupted Wanderlust on behalf of squirrels everywhere for our brethren who chewed on her pumpkins.  We think that if her mom puts out a nice plate of acorn brownies (without chocolate in them) next year, the squirrels will ignore the pumpkins.

Here goes the WCB participants:

First in are Jessica, Mankie, and Mandy at Very Sedap.  They had a visit from three adorable alley cats, who wanted some affection.  Smart kitties, they knew a friend when they saw Jessica. 

Sergei and Sasha show off their beautiful feet at Music and Cats.  Are they making a statement?  Admiring their lovely claws?  Who can say.  They aren't talking.

I was so touched to read about Stasia at Zazamataz.  She has osteoporosis and it can be hard for her to jump up on the bed.  I know how that can be, Stasia.  But, she has a great mom, who is giving her love, tender care, and a rocking heating pad! 

Adorable kitten alert!!  Boo_licious at Masak-Masak gives an update on the kittens she's raising.  The yellow kitty reminds me of Sundance!  (You're doing a great job Boo_licious.)

It's getting colder (and wetter) here in Northern California, but the elegant Luna at CatSynth is warm and dry inside with her dad, Amar. 

Over at Mind of Mog, Meowza entertains the neighbor cat, who came for a visit.  They were probably talking about how they keep their black and white fur so pretty.

Wow! Mr. Hendrix at Mr. Hendrix The Kitty is having one great day!  His vet appointment was cancelled and his friend Monty is back home, safe and sound.

Impossibly adorable kitten alert!!!  Go to The World According To Pia and see them.  Watch out, your heart will melt!

That handsome scamp Fridolin at Rosa's Yummy Yums rarely gets to sleep with his mom.  For good reason--he doesn't let her sleep.  He wants her total attention.

Samantha at Life From A Cat's Perspective has a distinctive way of sleeping and her mom wonders if other cats sleep the same way?  I think Samantha might like a sleep mask, to keep out the light!

Wow!  There sure is a lot going on at Bad Kitty Cats.  They have an optional theme of Clean Or Dirty. Well, I don't like to be dirty myself. But, it's fun to see others looking messy!

Well, this is fascinating to me!  Go to Meeyauw and read about the LOLCatBible. I had never heard of this project and it was fun to read about it.

I'm still laughing after watching a hilarious video at Cuisine Guylaine!  It shows why I never exercise!  And look at the beautiful kitties at Photoguylaine.

Oh, look at my man Kamikaze over at I Got Two Shoes.  He's looking fine and demonstrating why he's such a great cuddle buddy.

Look at the beautiful China Cat over at Sammawow basking  in the sun!  It makes me feel nice and sleepy just looking at her!

Dragonheart at Dragonheart's Domain shows just how flexible a cat can be. In fact, I think he could teach yoga!!!!!

Kashim and Othello got their first snow of the season over at The Catboys Realm.  But, it makes their butt's cold--and mom may have a cold!  Oh no! 

Hey, they're making Kitty Cookies over at Perfectly Parker!  I'll have one tuna flavored, OK?  Yum!

Look at Tina over at Foray Into Food.  She's such a cutie--and she found a really neat box to sit in. Boxes rule!

Meet the adorable Felix (perfect cat name) at Cinnamon Sweet. He's only 12 weeks old, and full of mischief and energy.  Boy, wish I had some of that energy.

Fabulous photos and Squirrels!

That squirrel hanging upside down is too cute! I am a pushover for a furry tummy, even if it belongs to a rodent. Still, I miss Upsie!

Sasha and Sergei are showing off their furry white paws:

Thanks for hosting, y'all!

Apology accepted. I've decided to give in and let the squirrels eat my pumpkins down to the stems now. The two left standing have huge gaping holes in them.

That said, I'm still searhing Epicurious for acorn brownie recipes for next Halloween right this very second. ;)

Awesome pictures too! Love the upside-down one.

[s'kat]

Aww, the squirrels are all growed up! So cute. You are the awesomest of awesome Mums.

[Zazzy]

Ahhh, we loves watching squirrels. I had a flat tire last summer and the squirrels had filled my spare tire with acorns!

Stasia says hello to all from her nap. http://zazamataz.com/?p=858

Here's our kitten link for the weekend. How I wish I could send lots of acorns for the squirrels. They are so adorable.

Wow! Look at those babies all grown up. My mommy feeds the squirrels so I can watch them outside the window. They always have peanuts and corn so they are getting nice and chubby for winter.

The squirrels are just wonderful. That photo of the one upside down is a hoot. I hope people come to my site and let their kitties read their Bible because it is Sunday!

Hey you vermin, showing off upside down. We think you have done a great roundup! Most excellent. And we are very sorry we chase our Vermin around now. :( We will stick to the snakes.

Sher,

You take the greatest pics. Did Upsie say "talk to the paw?" on this post? I do hope she is getting better and jumping higher every day! : ) Love from VA.

As usual, I can hardly even bear the cuteness of your squirrels. I LOVE THEM.

I live for cuteness.

[Glenna]

The squirrels are so cute! And I'm very impressed they can eat upside down. Now, that's a trick.

[mandira]

Wow, look how they've grown up. :) So adorable. And thanks for the angel hair and chicken recipe. Sounds like a perfect weekday meal!

[Julie]

That picture of the squirrel hanging upside down and eating is too cute for words. (I think I've said that about your squirrel pictures before but I can't help it -- I just find squirrels so darned cute.)

[Greg Horning]

Fox squirrels are nice . . . and very trainable.
