My wife and I share this house with two ferrets a dog and up until recently four cats. The ferrets have never been allowed free access to the house while the cats and dog are around. Having read about cats and ferrets being compatible, we have toyed with letting them meet. Whenever we would bring the most amiable cat into the midst of the ferrets, they (the ferrets) would make a beeline to nearest cat-part and hang on! The cat would go running with this ferbie attachment waving in the breeze. We recently rescued two kittens from a bad situation and would like to allow them and the ferrets to meet one another. Is there any hope for the older cats, or should we restrict our attempts to the kittens? Please help if you have experience in this type of situation.
