Had a chuckle over this:

I tend to refer to my ferrets as "rats" too sometimes for the same reason,
but also because my last name happens to be "Furr" (by marriage- my maiden
name is Bass, which has also caused a few jokes growing up and was the basis
for my college nickname of "Trout"). My babies are my "Furr-rats", rats for
short. Get it?
