The squirrel that wears many hats

This is cute:

When freshman Mary Krupa began feeding the squirrels on Penn State’s campus, she never envisioned she’d one day be making miniature hats for one of them.

But the more she fed them, the friendlier the critters became. One squirrel in particular was comfortable enough to eat straight from Krupa’s hand.

She named the squirrel Sneezy and eventually began stroking the animal’s head. Then she got an idea.

“I honestly don't know what inspired me to put hats on her. I just wanted to see what I could do as it was funny,” Krupa told The Daily Mail.“I had a tiny doll hat with me and tried it. Amazingly, she sat there with it on long enough for me to take a picture. It was so cute,” she said.
