Well I’m not sure about that, but that’s a good point…
Polar bears have translucent hair that looks white, and black skin. Looks like black squirrels have black skin. So maybe it depends if this white squirrel still has black skin underneath 🤷♀️ I’m going to tell myself that the lil guy will be fine because that’s a happier ending 😅
Hey, you/your sister should submit a report of this squirrel spotting!
https://untamedscience.com/biodiversity/white-squirrel/
There’s an effort to map where white squirrels are showing up in North America. We did some research after seeing one in our neighborhood a few years back - like this one, ours wasn’t albino, which you can differentiate because squirrels with albinism have red eyes.
Edit: this lil guy is probably better off in the snow than otherwise, better camouflage! 😍
American born to English ex-pats here. We also left out beer for Santa - and carrots for the reindeer.
We left cookies out too, I’ll have to ask if the cookies (and maybe the carrots too) were just put back in the box/fridge, or what actually got eaten.
Edit: my dad says the beer and cookies were definitely eaten but “neither of those pair well with carrots” so apparently they just went back in the fridge. I’m not sure why my brother and I bothered with the carrots then 😂

Came here to say much the same thing!
Everyone’s credibility warning sirens should be going off after looking at this “article.”
Yeah I was recently cat sitting for friends who have two normal litter boxes and two Litter Robots. The Litter Robots weren’t functioning correctly and they didn’t know why yet so they were basically just normal litter boxes at the time, but gigantic lol.
Anyway I wasn’t very impressed if both their very expensive automated litter boxes weren’t working.
So I haven’t been left with a great impression of Litter Robot’s reliability.
Gotta tuck the snoot
Def bring it up with the vet. When my cat started going outside of the box, it was because she had a nasty kidney infection.
Edit: also “randomly when I step away,” do you mean if you’re travelling? She might be stressed because she misses you and she’s lonely.
Our cat doesn’t respond to catnip but she does respond to silvervine!
I don’t think it’s the classic catnip response (which I assume is because of her genes) but she gets more playful and her pupils enlarge… for a few minutes and then she just wants to take a nap 😂
And from me please give her a lil forehead scritch, thanks
Yeah I’ve been seeing this for a few months now.
My workaround is to upvote threads I’ve read, since it’s doing a better job of remembering what I’ve voted on.
Scoutabout and Scootums are both VERY good, we might have to start using those! 😁
Scout
Who 99% of the time is Scooty.
She’s occasionally called: Scootybutt, Scooterella, Scoots, Scootyscoots*, Scuttles, Scuttlebutt, Scoutster (only ever used by my mom lol), Scootypuff Senior (a la Futurama, but she’s too old to be Junior. Scooty is 12.)
(*Edit: I should add that when using this one, it’s always pronounced as “ScootySCOOOOOOOOOOOTS” in imitation of our friend who coined this while drunk.)
We pretty much only call her Scout at the vet
I’ll add a picture when I get another break from work
Edit: pic tax
Looking guilty after I caught her licking a plastic bag
Asking for attention/if she can steal my chocolate croissant
“Helping” me work from home
What’s Boris hanging out on top of? I’m intrigued but by the shape lol
Also, love a girl cat with a classically male name. I had a roommate with a fat orange cat named Leroy. Leroy was a girl 😁 (Leroy was also a big sassbutt.)
Awesome, this worked. Thank you!
If anyone knows where to buy one of these decals, please let me know. My parents bought a Tesla several years ago because of environmentally friendly ambitions and I’d love to get them one of these decals. I tried to Google it but “car logo decal” wasn’t getting me results like this meme shows.
Our girl has favorite spots in the house too. She tends to favor one spot for a little while, so she’ll spend almost all her time hanging out there but then get bored and switch to a new spot. I recently named this phenomenon “Spot of the Week” lol
Ooh cool! So just the other day, my husband saw a hawk grab a grey squirrel. And a squirrel buddy came over and attacked the hawk and rescued the first squirrel!! We’ve never seen or heard of anything like that before. These were grey squirrels.
Maybe squirrels are a lot more roughty toughty than I’ve been giving them credit for! 😁
