Years ago on the FML some told about coming into a room and seeing her ferret looking to the side, taking a bit of kibble from the bowl and placing it to the side, then watching again. This happened repeatedly, and the FML member quietly moved a bit to get a better look. The ferret was feeding mouse, piece by piece. Unfortunately, I can't remember when the post was, or even if it predates the archives. It might. We had a lot of discussion back then because there was a TV show with a person Mark Marcone (? Is that right? It's been a long time.) who had a tv pets show with a ferret, Splash (?), who got along fine with many of the rodents he showed and with the larger birds he had (but the small ones had to be caged with the ferret). I think that it is possible that the discussion came up during that topic, but am not sure. Anyway, enjoy the "Awwwwwwww..." moment.
