Viral of the Day: Hamster Gets Shot and Pretends to Be Dead

There's literally nothing better to finish / start the day than a healthy dose of cuteness: just what the doctor ordered. The latest viral video has as protagonist an adorable fur ball that plays dead better than a pooch.

Check it out above – you won't be sorry.

We don't know the name of the hamster but, from the YouTube description of the video, we understand that he's a budding actor.

And quite a talented one, come to think of it. We've seen far more wooden performances from some of today's hottest human actors.
