Tryntje asked yesterday whether other peoples' deaf ferrets made much noise
while playing-- Amelia is partially deaf, and she makes far less noise than
Cully does while happily playing.  She does dook when she's really worked
up, but it's more of a restrained burble.  It's a totally different
situation when she's in a fight with Cully, though.  Then she screams and
shrieks, even when she's on the offensive.  She also has one killer hiss on
her-- she sounds like a Japanese movie monster preparing to destroy Tokyo
when she's really mad.  My theory on the screaming is that she's making
noise loudly enough to hear herself.  And she figured out pretty quick that
it would get Cully in trouble ;)
