1. To those of you who live in old houses or apt. buildings with very
old windows and no screens:
I use those screens that you stick in just beyond where the window
closes. The come in standard sizes. There is a 1 1/2 in. gap between
the top of the screen and the bottom of the upper window. Rocky keeps
looking up there and sometimes climbing up the screen. One time I caught
him just as he was going over the top. There is a fire escape on this
window, but I am afraid he'd fall right through the slats. He never
showed any interest in this until this spring.
Does anyone know how I can fix this problem? I am not much of a
"handyman."
2. To NYC readers:
I was very upset to see that article about exotic animals and how they
lump ferrets in with monkeys, venemous snakes, wild cats, alligators,
etc. Also, they used a picture of a black-footed ferret instead of our
domestic ferrets. I was thinking of writing them a letter, but I know
they wouldn't print it, so would it do anything? Has anyone responded?
I am most afraid of my landlord finding out, as he will use any excuse to
throw people with rent stabilized apts. out and jack up the rent above
$2,000. Everyone in my building has seen Rocky in the hallway. When I
got him, the City Council had just voted to legalize ferrets, and I used
to take him out. I soon learned he hated being outside, but he loves
the hallway. I AM VERY AFRAID.
Please email me, I am so behind on reading the FML.
Thanks,
Shron & Rocky
P.S.--Thanks Bob C. for your reply about my food questions.
