Cotton-Obsessed Squirrel Struggles to Carry Nest Materials

A heartwarming scene unfolded between a squirrel and a North Carolina woman who provided pillow fluff and nuts for the creature’s nest.

“Miss Bonnie is currently pregnant (for the 5th time) and she’s literally in ‘nesting mode.’ She’s always been fond of this white pillow fluff and loves to line her nest with it,” Katarzyna Olone told Storyful.

Footage captured by Olone shows her calling out to Miss Bonnie the squirrel, who promptly descends from the tree to receive a supply of fluff and nut treats. Despite Miss Bonnie’s effort to carry both the fluff and the nuts, the load proves too cumbersome for her.

“She tried to take the nuts too but couldn’t fit it all in her mouth,” Olone said. Credit: @MissBonnieMcSquirrely via Storyful

KATARZYNA OLONE: I had some fluff saved. Come on. I got it. I got it. She's been dragging leaves. And, like, look what I have to do. The fluff is finished so I got her some.

Look, I got you some. Yes. Yes. You're making a mess. You got it. And I got your nuts, too. Can you fit it all? Oh, [INAUDIBLE] Ow! Ow, that was on my fingers.

[LAUGHS]

You can come back. I can wait. OK. I'll wait. I'll wait. Don't take my sweater. You're funny. Yes, I got you.
