Hi there!
 
Who knows why your ferrets likes his face scratched?!  My sister's cat
can't get enough of face scratchins'.  Patch (my boy ferret) can't get
enough of me scratching his shoulder blades.  He hunches his back and
fluffs out his tail and wriggles around trying to get me to scratch all the
itchy parts.  All this talk about scratchin' makes me wish someone would
give me a back scratch!  Why does just talking about scratching and itching
make my back itch?
