a challenge of squee!
November 6, 2012 11:48 AM Subscribe
Can you make it through this post without squealing?
Plus hedgehog bath time! & other moments of squee, within
videos of squee:
*baby polar bear learns how to walk - with bonus bath time!
*cat plays Fruit Ninja on an iPad!
*broccoli kitten loves broccoli!
*otters holding hands!
*kitty massage!
If you can't get enough video of cute animals, VICE's The Cute Show will scratch that itch (warning: autoplays most recent episode) - "For each episode of The Cute Show we pick one cute thing and squeeze the stuffing out of it. And that’s about it. Cute ain’t complicated." A whole list of mini-episodes at the link - wiener dogs, sugar gliders, bunnies, sloths, and wombats (plus much more), oh my!
If you prefer pictures of cute animals you could check out attack of the cute or super cute.
Or 22 of the cutest animal babies you've never seen before!
But perhaps you would prefer a very large list of very tiny things.
a small sampling of previous squee on MeFi:
*rescued ducks see water for the first time
*the fluffington post
*liz climo's animal cartoons
*wildlife rehabilitation videos
*hot buttered sloths in pajamas

It was the bunny in the pottery bowl that did it for me. I admit it.

I made it as far as the ducks.
The toddler at the end is all kinds of awesome.

I made it as far as the hedgehog. There is something wonderful about small spiny animals in water.

Admiral, here is a list of hedgehog breeders, including your QTH in Massachusetts. They aren't legal as pets in every state, but you're in luck.

I came here to get away from anxiety-inducing election coverage but the commercial that played before the Fruit Ninja video was a Romney ad. :(

I like the fact that the hedgehog had, what I am hoping, its own toothbrush for scrubbin' right in there with the other toothbrushes. Wonder if anyone ever woke up bleary eyed and grabbed the hedgehog brush by accident.

I already want a hedgehog. I cannot have a hedgehog (or any other pet) since I travel too much and am bad at caring for things.
This post is making me tear up.

I cannot believe there is a hedgehog breeder in walking distance of my apartment.
I will be having a conversation with my wife about this tonight. Thanks, Mykescipark.

I used up all my squealing in the politics threads. (And not in a good way) Still, I'd rather have a hedgehog than the cat I kinda-adopted when a neighbor died... but I think that cat hunts hedgehogs in the hills behind the property. And now, I have to worry about the cat stealing my broccoli? Sigh.

Actually, I was tough as nails until I reached that last video.

I used to be a part of a club that cleaned cages and bathed animals for our science lab in Elementary school. We had a very mean old hedgehog. After a bath, he bit clean through my finger, blood shot everywhere.
I don't think they're cute anymore.

I thought I was going to make it. Butterball was ticking me off and gave me a lot of "just DO it, you dumb dog" grump fuel, and I thought it was going to take me all the way.
And then they hit me with a baby pony, when I am particularly pony-vulnerable. I mean, the darn thing looks like it's wearing eye shadow in that particular '40s Disney sort of way. And a curly mane and socksies and widdle hoofsies and DAMMIT.

THAT GUY LOVES HIS HEDGEHOG SO. MUCH.
Although I wonder what's like for the hedgie, "calm down just let me put my FACE THAT IS BIGGER THAN YOUR ENTIRE BODY RIGHT UP TO YOUR OWN."

I really like teeny tiny things.
Or, rather, I like other people's photos of teeny tiny things. I myself do not feel organized or tidy enough for a teeny-tiny-thing lifestyle, but I will gladly gawk.

I made it to the mom cat hugging the kitten before gleeful, near hysterical, laughter erupted from me like puke from a Bush twin after a frat party.
I don't know where it came from but it came back for the baby/crowd video.
Oh, internet, is there no sound you can't wrench from my innermost places?

Oh wow, I don't think I've ever tried stifling an Awww response before. It is hard! Somehow I thought that not Awwwing would be as easy as not talking, but it's a much more automatic reaction.

I made it all the way through with only internal moaning, except now my jaws are in pain and my eyes are teary and bulging.
Don't stifle the squees. It's like trying to stop sneezing.

BTW, where can I get a hedgehog? They seem like the cutest pets. Can I have one as a pet? Seriously. Do I have to catch one in the wild?
