Now, what about poor Moti-Mo catching something from Chopin....
At any rate, there is no real threat that a ferret poses to your cat.
Actually, having a dog in the house is more of a problem. Both cats and
ferrets can harbor fleas, tapeworms, and some other parasites, but their
common diseases will not cross species lines. Moti-Mo stands more of a
problem if you had a dog in the house.
Chopin will be just fine. (I think you're getting slighted, Moti-Mo!)
