I'd like for mama to adopt me, too.

I've squirreled away some kisses! Cat adopts four adorable critters - and one in particular LOVES its new mummy

A cat has adopted four baby squirrels and now treats them as if they were her own offspring, as these adorable photographs show.

The four squirrels were adopted by Pusha after they were orphaned, but have since gotten used to their new family.

The group sleep, eat and play together at a local park in Bakhchisaray, a small town narrow valley of the Curuk Suv river about 20 miles south-west of Simferopol, Crimea's de facto capital.

Adorable photographs show the young red squirrels cuddling up to their adoptive mother and climbing all over her.

One in particular shows the Pusha appearing to kiss one of the tiny squirrels, who are said to follow their adoptive mother around and even fight over her milk.

I don't know, my cat Moe would have that squirrel by the neck.

Thank you so much for posting this. It's so precious. Just love to see this type of story. Some of the news stories of the day really broke my heart. Such evil exists in the world. This was just what I needed.

Thanks again.
