Some of these are as big as domestic cats.

The odd creature was discovered by Percy and Connie Emert in Jeresey Shore, PA on Sunday.
“We have bird feeders out in our yard, and the squirrels are constantly into them,” Connie told Accuweather.com. “My husband traps them and then sets them free elsewhere so they don’t get into your bird feeders.”
She said she had seen the little creature on the property before, but no one would believe her.
“I kept telling my husband I saw a purple one out in the yard. ‘Oh sure you did’ he kept telling me,” she added. “Well, he checked the trap around noon on Sunday and sure enough, there it was.”

Proof!!!!
Saw them regularly when I rode a commuter bus through DC.
I agree. I was wondering about their reaction to Santorum’s wins, so that answers my question.
I turned the show on briefly today to see if Glenn might issue an apology or even mention the nasty piece about Sarah Palin that ran on the Blaze, but I didn’t hear anything at all. But then, the radio wasn’t on for long, because when Glenn started with the pious stuff about the Blaze’s HIGH MORAL STANDARDS AND ETHICS, I switched it off.
You’re welcome.
thanks! They are pretty cool but i am a wildlife lover.
Some kids in the neighborhood dunked the squirrel in a bucket of dye, and now they’re laughing their ***** off.
That’s nothing, I hear there’s a purple elephant in Cheswick.
somebody caught it in a trap and dunked it into a tub of purple dye.....
I trap squirrels and cats and while they're in the cage, I spray paint them. If I catch the squirrels again, I relocate them. If they're a neighbor's cat then they get the message. If they're feral and I catch them again, they too get relocated.......
Criticize me if you want but it's better than killing them.........
They just discovered the creature and they already know that his name is See?

Nice to see it's still there!
Nice to see it's still there!
Looks like my fraternity brothers at work with spray cans again!
Looks a bit more lavender.
Not that there’s anything wrong with that.
