Must be the season for odd drinking habits.  My tiny little Gypsy pokes her
head into one of the thin rags I use for bedding and will drink THROUGH the
cloth ... both from her water bottle and from the bowl I recently added.
The bowl tends to get clowdy over the day with fur, pieces of food and
litter (I still don't know how they're doing that, as the litter boxes are
*far* away from the water bowl) and I wondered if she was using the rag to
"strain" her water?!  :) Silly ferret.  Silly, clever ferret.  :)
