Saw this on Yahoo!  as I was browsing..talks about how SARS has been
found in this type of cat in China called a Civet cat which is related
to a ferret.  Although it doesn't indirectly say that ferrets can get
SARS, I'm wondering..how will people react that are uneducated when they
see ferrets?  They might think they're SARS infested or something..
just something to think about... :/

[Moderator's note: Well, except a civet cat is NOT related to a ferret!
They're darn cute though and look similar -- here's a picture of one:
