My fuzzie (like me (-: ) has a rather unique name and I wanted to share how she got it. Her name is Mikette (pronounced mi-ket) Before I got her (my first fuzzie) I was doing a lot of prep stuff: reading ferret books, buying supplies etc. Everyone kept asking me what I would call her, I said I couldn't possibly know until I got her. Well, one day shopping for ferret stuff with my Mom I was asked over and over what I would call the ferret because my Mom wanted to stop referring to my future fuzzie as "it". I told her to just refer to her as "my baby" since that is what she would be. That night I figured I better start thinking of some names. I was stuck on M's for some reason and kept making up names: Mica, Miesha, then Mikette. I remembered Kit meant something but couldn't remember if it meant fuzzie boy or girl (I had already decided to get a female ferret). When I realized it meant baby ferret I was thrilled, because loosely translated (with the "mi" part meaning "my") her name is: My baby ferret! Just what I told my Mom to call her! (-: (actually I decided the name wouldn't be definate until after I got her, but the night I got her she kept biting me and I automatically starting say "No Mikette" so that's who she is!)
