As many here know, when I was putting myself through school decades
ago I worked w a range of primates (chimps and gibbons for the apes,
a loris and lemurs for the prosimians, and a wide range of New World
primates, as well as meeting but not working daily with a number of
other primates) and was planning on going into primatology before I got
sick over thirty years ago (with 3 things at once -- lost 1/3 of one
breast, a neuromuscular disease, and from the physical stress the onset
of allergies so severe that I wound up in the hospital) and had to cut
short w a bachelors and some grad classes. So, even after this time
primates are often on my mind, and I do missing working them despite
still having a lot of scars which have not faded away and even though
my current vision would now make it unsafe for most species.

Anyway, Kessy is turning out to be a world class ferret climber and
jumper. She is right up there with the best ones we have had on that
regard in our thirty plus years with ferrets. As a result today I
called her a "little monkey". From the LR Steve called in, "Monkeys
respect gravity. Kessy is post-monkey!" So, that is who she is now:
Keskittää the post-monkey ferret.

How many here have post-monkey ferret stories to share on climbing and
jumping? They are always fun and right now that would be good.
