>Actually, I was hoping I would be at home when a quake hit. I'm curious >what the ferrets would do. Anchorage has lots of tremors and I find that my cockatiels make a lot of noise right before one hits. On the other hand they frequently make a lot of noise for no reason neither me, sheltie, cat, or ferret can see. A few months ago a quake hit while we were asleep. Butter was curled up on the pillow next to my head. On this occasion there was a faint vibration of the bed first and both of us woke up and raised our heads in a "what was that mode". Then another, stronger jolt rocked the house and rattled the windows. Butter gave me a long, very stern look and then leaped from the bed to his favorite den under the bathroom sink. Even the squeaky toy wouldn't entice him back out. I believe he thought it was my fault! Heaven forbid he be inconvenienced. Patti and Butter (that wasn't funny) [Posted in FML issue 3344]
