That does look like fun!
(Well, except for the whole being underwater and breathing from a tank thing.)
My attitude exactly. But still, I want to play with a little octopus so badly!
I think that’s the equivalent of rubbing a puppy tummy.
I was just going to say it reminded me of a puppy playing! Sea puppies!!!!
They are puppies and can get up to mayhem.
My favorite octopus story is that of Otto, from Germany. https://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=96476905
Otto was annoyed by the bright lights in the aquarium being on all night, so he would squirt water at the fixture until it short circuited. Every night.

That octopus was so sweet it brought tears to my eyes
When I was a little girl, one of my favorite books was Tomi Ungerer’s Emile: The Helpful Octopus. I can’t find it on my shelves now; I think it must have disintegrated. Now I haz a smol sad. But the playful octopus is so sweet!
Thank you!😁👍🏼I found this but for some reason I’m not allowed to copy and paste☹️
Thank you, Duckie! I’m glad to see the book is still in print and available. I wish I could remember what happened to my original, though. My Babar is missing as well. I suspect they simply fell apart and I made the sensible decision to part with the parts; but it bothers me that I don’t remember. The books I’ve had the longest are the hardest ones to say goodbye to.
Octopus says “Can’t catch me! Can’t catch me! oooh it tickles.” What a cutie.
Who knew octopuses liked head pets?!
S/he looks to be having so much fun. Green with envy🤩
They are very smart and have a rich life. This is a BBC documentary of a guy who had a pet octopus in his house. They watch tv, dream, and goof around. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mnZ9wF-Bv1w
