According to Norse mythology, the immortal squirrel Ratatoskr runs up and down the world tree Yggdrasil. He is delivering messages (often insults) between the huge eagle who sits at the top of the tree and the dragon Níðhöggr, who dwells beneath one of the roots.

My two cats love watching birds come to my window feeder, but when they get excited and jump at the window, the birds get scared and fly away.

This disappoints my cats.

Squirrels, on the other hand, appear to understand glass, and show no fear as they sit in the feeder for anything up to an hour, while two predators stare at them and try to scratch through the glass to murder them.

Ein Tintehörnchen 🖋️🐿️

Die Hörnchen sind eigentlich gut auf den Winter vorbereitet, aber wenn ich könnte, würde ich ihnen trotzdem gern Stulpen für die Pfötchen mitgeben, einen Rucksack mit Nüssen und eine Schale leicht warmes Wasser.
