To Adam You may want to try making a little bed for Suzie so she can sleep in that particular part of the couch. It seems that ferrets may dig in furniture to try to get a "blanket" over them. It worked for my Jack. The only drawback was that I had to put a litter tray at the other end of my couch when I went to work each day because he became a little lazy about hopping off the couch to toilet. The novelty didn't last long, however, and he no longer needs his special bed-on-the-couch and is happy to sleep with his buddies in a hammock. Good Luck Shirley [Posted in FML issue 3339]
