Finally something humans and cats can agree on — these squirrels are captivating!
Who doesn’t love nature videos? There’s just something incredibly enjoyable about watching wildlife go about its day being…well, wild! Of course, if you live in a rural area, you don’t even need to turn on the TV — you can just look out your window.
▼ “Hey, you guys got any nuts in there?”

For reasons we can’t quite explain, these squirrels are fascinating to watch. It might be because they look like frantic anime characters running around on fast forward or because their ears look they were stolen from some very surprised rabbits, but either way, we have to agree with @myumyulovemyu — they’re super cute!

In case you’re wondering where you’d have to go to see this many squirrels running around outside your window, it turns out @myumyulovemyu lives in “rural Hokkaido,” which you might have guessed from all the snow on the ground!

And if you’re jealous of the Twitter user’s home, you’ll be even more jealous when you find out that home comes with eight cats!

全然平気。
