****Sincere gratitude to all of you that wrote concerning what to put on
my floor where my ferrets are most likely to wipe their little bottoms.****
 
If it were not for the fact that I must refloor all the other rooms in the
years to follow-linoleum sounds like the best to use.  It is seamless.  So
fert 'deposits' won't stain grout or seep down between tiles.
 
I have seen it easily ripped, however.  I picture the young inexperienced
movers that will be lugging out giant furniture to redo the rooms where
Chewy has scratched through the carpeting.  They put holes in my walls just
bringing furniture in.  It is giant stuff: heavy and cumbersome.  And I see
all the nicks in the linoleum my friends have.
 
Dropping a piece of furniture would chip or crack ceramic tile.  Dropping
just a coffee cup could chip ceramic.  So I have ruled that out.  If any of
you decide to do ceramic-use dark grout.  Ferret poop and disinfectant will
darken the white grout.  This is what you kind people have told me.  It
sure looks beautiful.  But I received 6 stories of tiles cracking.
 
There is no ideal for me.  Actually-the floor looks rather interesting with
no flooring on it.  There are no-wax floors.  I have no floor-floors.  Too
bad I cannot have no poop floors.
 
Maybe I should give away my ferrets and have clean lovely flooring for
years to come.  With all the deposits they have made, they should be very
wealthy companions for someone to enjoy.
 
No more kissing little faces.  No laughing as Socks flips off the bed
again.  No scented ferret to tuck in bed and inhale.  No little fur frog
hopping on me Every morning--Very early
No one leaping out at me from behind the door.
Who would I thank God for?
Surely not the cats.
 
Only kidding
Not
 
Nahh
I'm powerless over ferrets:
And Poop is my middle name.
