My nephew got a new Dr. Seuss book in the mail the other day, "Mice are
Nice".  Basically it goes over why mice make better pets than other
animals.
 
In the first page, there's a picture of the pet store.  The ferrets are in
a tank, sitting on branches.  They're also sitting on branches in another
page.  Funny, I never took ferrets for arboreal creatures.
 
The basic theme of the book is "puppies bark, kittens scratch, and ferrets
stink"!  The picture for "ferrets stink" shows the mouse with a clothespin
on his nose, pointing to the ferret.  The ferret has a look like "who, me?"
on his face.
 
My sister just goes over that section really fast.
 
I know, that has nothing to do with ferrets eating mice.
