Owings, forgive me for the confusion.  I may not state clearly.  I loved
your defensive nature toward ferrets, though!  Smiles.  I haven't had a
ferret until I graduated from high school a year later.  I'm a deaf
person that used to live in a deaf school dormitory since I was hours
away from home.  Dorm life there was the best time of my life except for
a certain supervisor I knew.  She was ruthless.  Ha.  In the posting, I
was explaining that I could understand what deaf ferrets must feel if I
was in their paws with the pounding on the cages.
 
This supervisor used to kick all the deaf students' beds to wake us up
and it used to make our blood boiling every morning and catching our
runaway souls to drag them back into our bodies.  *chuckles* It is now
banned for any supervisors to do this these days, thankfully.  Anyway,
thanks for having great, strong stand toward protecting ferrets
regardless!. :) '
 
To clear up another confusion for few people that asked - Wolf's advice
about softly thumping on the cage to wake the deaf ferrets up is great.
What I meant in my posting is for anyone not to ruthless shake and bang
and pound fully handed on the cage and scaring the ferrets out of their
paws' socks to wake them up.  I just helped rescuing two ferrets out of a
home that this couple used to really pound onto their cages hard.  They,
in turn became very defensive toward anyone.  They're okay now.
 
My deaf ferrets as well as a deaf dog, too, have gotten used to me
rubbing them to wake them up.  They love it because they stretch out
while I keep rubbing after they wake up.  So adorable.  Hope you all had
fun Halloween recently.  Hard to believe X mas is coming up so soon!
