Stop the insanity
OK, that' s IT! I'm starting a 'Cozies' category. This is absolutely TOO much. Who dared knit a squirrel sweaer much less GET IT ON A SQWERL? Who dared! Holy Nuts, People. I bet it was the tree sweater woman.
I agree, Linda, it hadta be hand-raised...

KNITTING RABIES!!!
YEEEEEEEP!!!!

LOL now imagine the skwerl in the tree, both wearing sweaters!
That is amazing...absolutely amazing...
actually, the sweater is crocheted.
(yes, I'm a geek)
WOW!! I love it! I rilly rilly do!
(I can't imagine getting one of these on a Wildlife Rehab skwerl - LOL)
Honestly: a knit cap, a tiny quiver, and a little bow. That's seriously all he needs to be a character from "Redwall."
But Liz -- it's only a top...
(no geeks here, nuh-uh, not me nosirree)
I call photoshop.
He's cute. When I was a kid I wished I had one as a pet, but I've learned better! :)
Hm is it just me or does it seem like the squirrel will break into a chicken dance at any moment now...
AH-HAH-HAH-HAH-HA
He looks frightfully distinguished. "I say, old chap, wot about a spot of cricket?"
Très adorable...
Liz is right, it's crocheted. It's still insane.
Cats dressed up always look put upon. This little guy looks all "How cozy, that certainly takes the chill off!"
He actually looks like he's smiling, he's obviously quite pleased with it.
I bet he's the envy of all his squirrel buddies!
I want to whittle him a little pipe and get him a professor briefcase.
SWEET SHIMMERING MOTHER OF MARY.
I have seen it all.
*THUD*
I lol'd when I saw this pic - hilarious!!!
This is screaming to be made into a "I don't know what you're talking about... so here's a squirrel in a sweater" gif.
I agree with Zelda-- having worked in wildlife rehab, I know from experience that squirrels bite like the damned. I want to see a video of this sweater being put on the squirrel, and I want to know how long the sweater-applier was in the emergency room/casualty ward afterward, and how many pints of blood and stitches it took. I don't think even many tame squirrels would put up with that. And WHY? Was the squirrel shaved? Unusually prone to chest colds?
He's smiling!! MOTHER OF PETE!!
He just needs to be sipping a teensy cup of tea.
He looks like he's in a muscle-man pose:
"Luukat my bulging pectoral muscles."
He *so* needs a little old man cap and a walking stick!
SUSAN: No. sqwerl wos just a fashionable bloke, yeah?
Look at his feet, People! For God's sake, look at his feet!
HOLY SHITBALLS IT'S THE EFFING SQWERL FROM
MAPLETOWN.
PLEASE SOMEONE TELL ME YOU KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT.

Everyone go talk to Tufy, now:
http://www.scarysquirrel.org/tufty/chat/
Per the "this is an Engrish gennelmun skwerl," he/she *does* have a very Beatrix Potter look... P'rhaps it's Squirrel Nutkin as a retiree?!
OMG, that's too much! As my husband's Timneh African Grey parrot would say, "Oooo, see the cute little skwrrrrrrrrrrl?"
Sorry, Anna the Idle R. Blank-o mind...
I think I scared Tufty.
Me: Would you like to wear a sweater?
Tufty: I am not so sure I would like to wear a sweater.
He IS SMILING!! He's proud of his new sweater, methinks.
Brain: Pinky, are you thinking what I'm thinking?
Pinky: I think so, Brain. But where are we going to get a squirrel, a squirrel sweater and a tranquilizer gun at 3 in the morning?
I suspect Photoshop as well. It's cute for sure, but even I can "dress" some cats I have never seen in person...

Is it possible that this squirrel has been taxidermied?
hey! he's missing some pants!
how cute.
That cozy fits that squirreley to a tea.
I got attacked by a squirrel once. I might not have minded so much had he been wearing a leetle sweater.
he does looks like he's smiling! that is so FREAKIN' cute! all squirrels probably wish for cozy sweaters in the winter.
Okay, I've changed my mind. What I really want is to find out what the person who sweatered this squirrel eats for breakfast, because I think I could use some of it. Like that "Tiger's Milk" stuff-- I want to know what the person who milks the tiger eats.
He can't be taxidermied, he looks very alive. He looks as if he's smiling! Aw so snug.
prolly a pet squirrel.
Hmmmm.. I don't think it's been photoshopped. Look at his little fat neck - it's being squished up a bit from the turtleneck. Ha ha!
"I think I scared Tufty."
Good! he's a complacent lil' son of a gun, and needs a good shaking up every now and then. Thinks he's God, y'know. (I hate to refer you to the posts where he's quoted as saying so, since....)
Hey Photoshop People --
Why don't YOU try it, and get back to me?
♥ Thank You ♥
I agree, he looks very british. "I say, it is a bit nippy out, what?"
Me: how'd they get a sweater on the skewrl?
Tufty: carefully.
(arwo-i too have been attacked by one. it got over excited about the peanuts i was feeding it and thought my finger was a nut. *chomp* luckily, skwerls cannot carry the rabies virus.)
See, if a skwerl will sit still to take a drink from a water fountain (http://mfrost.typepad.com/cute_overload/2006/03/this_just_in_sq.html), one might just condescend to be dressed up in a wee snug sweater... (if it's been hand-raised, of course, cf. Meg and the sender-inner of this pic.)
"Me: how'd they get a sweater on the skewrl?
Tufty: carefully."
kariboo: when Tufty starts making sense, it's time to run for your life!!!
hehehe E.C. - if only we could grab that lil' Tufty and push a sweater over his head!
