Condolences to those with lost, sick, or angeled vacuum vanquishers... (Its the noise monster again! Everyone get ready...CHARGE! Ok, Jessica... you can hide under the luv seat and watch...) Dick Bossart mumbled something about: >How did he get inside the locked cage? Obviously, FERRETS CAN TELEPORT! Nah. It was ferret math. Ya know...when you have four ferrets, then suddenly one more appears out of nowhere? The teleport thing only works when they are going someplace they *aren't* supposed to be! See, Tanner was the victim of cat subtraction. That is a phenomenon where a cat, who is beset by ferrets in general, wishes a ferret would just "go away"...unfortunately, they aren't really good at this and a random ferret usually ends up disappearing. However, its a well-documented fact (especially in households where a spouse has made the statement "No More Ferrets!") that ferret math can bring these ferrets back from where ever it is that cats wish them to. Sometimes they appear to a new family, sometimes they appear back where they disappeared from. The key here, is to figure out which cat did the wishing and convince them not to wish any more ferrets away! They do the disappearing wish thing by wiggling their whiskers. So anyone with a cat, watch to see if they wiggle their whiskers. If your cat does this, then your cat might be the culprit here! NOTE: Everything related above was told to me by one of my ferrets.
