Squirrel-ché # 9

“What’s the matter, squirrel got your tongue?”

This is another example of a squirrelism for which cats have recently usurped credit. The original quote wasn’t about a cat having someone’s tongue though, it was a squirrel. Think about it, how’s a cat ever going to get someone’s tongue? They don’t have hands. However, a squirrel can easily grab a tongue with their nimble little appendages. Now don’t you go off worrying that a squirrel is going to start pinching you or something because they truly wouldn’t hurt a fly (or a squirrel as the actual expression goes). This squirrelism is just a figure of speech and actually came about because squirrels have been known to render people speechless with their beauty and grace.
