Hi- I'm seeking advice about integrating a new cat with my existing ferrets; I have put "Bob C" in the header in the hope that Bob is not too busy to read this and reply. In the eight years I've been with the FML, I have grown to respect his advice... In any event, I have two elderly (over 7 years old) ferrets, Stella and her brother Dupree who are slowing down in their golden years. They are caged most of the day as I live alone and work, and are out in the evenings; but if the truth be told, they now sleep for the most part when out, occasionally getting up to romp for a few minutes, then falling asleep again. I will shortly be taking in a 3-year old neutered male Persian cat - and if it makes any difference, he is a pure-bred, and a retired, prize-winning, show cat. I'd like the introductions of my pets to be a smooth transition, and their future lives together to be harmonious. Does anyone who has both a cat and ferret have any prediction of possible problems, and how they solved them; as well as general advice? Thanks!
