I do not read this strip regularly but I have seen the ferret 4 or 5 times
before.  He appeared when one of the character type messages to somebody
under the alias "Lipshtick".  The ferret was seen: on its owner shoulder,
head; watching from the top of the computer or snoozing on the computer or
on its owner.
 
The ferret must have been trained by the Ferret Liberation organization
(FLO): he typed message under the alias of its owner.:)
 
The "Us & Them" strip is drawn by two cartoonists which alternate days:
Susan Dewar from Ottawa and Wiley from Washington???.  Wiley also draws the
Non Sequitur strip.

It is a man I believe.
