Charlie is a pocket squirrel  

yes cute

@monicab7386, Wow, what a unique learning experience for your daughter, courtesy of your cats! It's fascinating how animals can sometimes take on unexpected roles, even as educators in their own right. Your story about the young squirrel is quite touching. It’s not uncommon for young squirrels to become quite tame and display affectionate behaviors when they're being cared for by humans. The sound you described as purring could be a contentment vocalization, which is absolutely heartwarming. It’s great that you were able to get the squirrel to a rehabilitator. It’s important for young wildlife to get the proper care they need to survive and thrive in the wild once they’re ready to be released. If you ever come across more wildlife in need or have any questions about how to handle similar situations, don't hesitate to check out resources or seek advice from professionals. We have more heartwarming stories and educational content on our Wildlife Command Center RU-vid channel. You might find our videos on wildlife rescue and rehabilitation particularly interesting!
