Have you ever had an unexpected visitor show up in your house and had no idea how it even got inside in the first place? TikToker Kaitlin Rios recently woke up to her cats chasing what she thought was a chipmunk through the house, and her reaction to the whole situation has everyone cracking up.
Listen as Kaitlin tries to figure out not only what she and her cats are chasing, but also how on earth she’s going to get it back outside. Her running commentary is laugh-out-loud funny, especially with the added sound bites she gives the squirrel. We’re pretty sure we’d have the exact same reaction if we were in her shoes, or, more accurately, her slippers!
Kaitlin left us all hanging! She didn’t share how she managed to get the flying squirrel out, and she didn’t post a follow-up video. We have so many questions about this whole event!

Funny Reactions to Kaitlyn and the Flying Squirrel
Like us, people got a kick out of watching Kaitlyn try to catch the flying squirrel, with hilarious results. @JessicaZirk cracked us up when she repeated, “‘Omg he just flew WTF?!’ LOL!!!!” @Kaitlin laughed and replied, “I was shook! LOL!”
@BISHOP shared, “‘It’s not a real tree’ took me out! How the h*ll did this happen to YOU?! This would happen to you honestly. Where was Steven? LOL! Were you alone in this chaos?!” Kaitlin replied, “I thought I was alone and then one of the boys came down – he stayed home sick. I didn’t even know he was here and Steven was at work. Girl it was chaos!!”
Finally, Brandy asked what we were all wondering, “So is he still there?” Kaitlin finally answered the question we were all asking…how she got him outside. “I got him out by taking the tree outside with him in it!”
The flying squirrel actually did her a favor by coming inside, otherwise, she still might have had her Christmas tree up! She also admitted, “Didn’t even need a coffee after that adrenaline rush!” We don’t need it either after watching it all go down!
