Got a problem with my furstyle?
Last week’s otherwise generic Saturday Squirrel cutie drew some comments over how ragged and unkempt its natural fur coat seemed to be. I attributed it to the fact that it was early March, and with the warmer Spring weather on the way (Actually, this past February 
was unusually warm), maybe I had caught him in a transition period between his winter and summer fur thickness. This week’s photo is of a different squirrel shot on that same March day, and while it’s not as noticeable, it does seem like he’s making Vidal Sassoon look just a little uglier. He seems like he has a thin layer of frizz sticking out from the rest of his fur on most of his body. It really shows on his left side and atop his head where the sun is making those split ends glow…
Not that he gives a rat’s ass about any of that, mind you. He’s just trying to enjoy a snack and could care less whether anyone criticizes his appearance or not. And untamed mane or not, he still looks pretty damned cute. Here’s to another punkishly adorable, hair raising Saturday Squirrel…
Have a great weekend everyone!
Happy Saturday to you too.
He is, as we say in the Dog World, “dropping his coat.” It’s the dreaded time of year when there is a deep layer of fur on everything. I don’t think Mr. Squirrel minds, but if it’s the living room … well … warm up the vacuum!
Yes, I will definitely remember to keep Mr. Squirrel out of the house. I don’t need his coat messing up all the nice cat hair I have all over everything…
I like the frizzy/fuzzy look myself…….perhaps that’s because I see it in my bathroom mirror every single danged morning that I feel an “affinity” for unkempt!? Happy Squirrel Saturday…….

I wish that kind of look was more socially acceptable for non-fuzzy critters like myself. It would save me a lot of time combing my hair…
Perhaps they stick out like that most of the time but always backlit by a light source? Nice job though.
Probably. And it would no doubt look even neater if a squirrel put its paw on one of those metal balls that makes your hair all stand on end…
Hey, a rat’s ass is my line!!
I remember back in his days on NBC, David Letterman had a crew member who always used that line. Probably about 1990 or so, and the first time I had ever heard anyone say they didn’t give a rat’s ass. I think it was also the first time I ever heard the word “ass” on network TV….
They say it all nowadays, dick, shit, ass, fuck…well maybe not THAT one.
George Carlin would be shocked to know there are no longer seven words you can’t say on TV…
I know, times they are a changin’…and we stay the fucking same.
He looks like he’s blowing on his paws to keep warm.
He does. And it doesn’t look very convincing when you are in the warm sunlight…
Cute cute cute cute cute cute cute cute cute. And then some.
I believe that is above the legal limit for cuteness….
