Ron and Liarna,  (Pretty name!)
 
I heard about the biting back from others too. I'm not sure I could handle
that myself. <G> Luckily mine haven't bitten. Anyway my male cat, is still a
kitten, and he only plays with one ferret too. He only plays with the kit.
Part of it is because the one I used to have (Mama) would attack and spray
him. But I have seen Coco (a sprite) lay perfectly still while Nonny, the
kit pulls her around by the neck. And Coco even has her eyes closed and
doesn't move a mustle or even an eyelash. In fact, when I say that I thought
Coco was dead! It scared me silly. So I'm mystified on that.
 
It seems a bit odd that your cat stopped when he saw Ron looking though.
Guilty...Hmm...I'm going to be watching the replies you get too. Hope
someone knows something.
 
Karl, I added two ferrets at once. I got them because I thought they were
males. Actually I would have even if I had known they were girls. <g>
But...being a new ferret person, I didn't know how to sex them. The funny
part was that the guy who gave them to me thought they were males for the 8
mos he had them. <G>
 
Anyway....What I did was do the two cages for a while and let them
intermingle on their own while they were allowed free time. At first there
were a few spats, but slowly they got used to each other. My one who did the
best was still very young. Is yours still young?
