Gail, just like your ferret, my baby Beckett only twitches her tail in one very
specific situation, and it is the cutest thing I've ever seen!  She has learned
that whenever I put my coat on that means that the big door that leads to the
fun and exciting outside world will be opening soon, and that it's time for
her to hide under the shoe rack by that door.  She looks at me, then runs under
the rack and watches my feet, waiting for a chance to make her big escape.  She
still has her baby fat, so all I see from above is a little pink nose out of
the front of the rack, and a pudgy butt with wagging tail out the side.  It is
*so* cute!  She just keeps twitching her tail until I get close enough to open
the door, and then she tries to get out.  Did I mention how cute it is?...
