Squirrel

The Squirrel is a background critter that only serves as environment flavor. Very similar to bunnies, they appear in the forest biome, and because of their low health and lack of defense, they are often instantly killed by mobs or the player. A squirrel behaves exactly as the other common ground critters - it moves around randomly as a bunny, penguin or frog would.

It is possible to catch a squirrel with the Bug Net, and carry it in the player's inventory. It can then be released again, sold, or crafted into a Squirrel Cage to be placed as an animated furniture. Once crafted, the squirrel cannot be released.

The Squirrel Cage occupies a 6x3 space. The Squirrel inside may follow these patterns randomly:
 * Run from one side of the cage to the other
 * Briefly put its hands and head together while on the right side (3 different ways to do it)
 * Briefly look (and sometimes stare) out of the screen while on the left side (and sometimes put its hands on its cheeks while doing so)
 * Blink while standing still
