Condolences to those with lost, sick, or angeled coffee table cleaners... ::Jump from the futon to the coffee table and slide clear across it, flopping off on the other side:: (Weeeeee! These important papers and remotes really fly when we clean the coffee table!) I've had cats most of my life. I've had ferret since 1997. Though my cat (who now weighs a svelte 11 pounds!) is about five times larger than any of my ferrets, its the ferrets that rule the roost. He has several areas of the house where he can hide (FFZ's exist in several places), he often chooses to be near me...and in the vicinity of the ferrets. If the ferrets are all sleeping and he's bored, he will smack one until it wakes up and chases him! :) Now, some cats are carnivores at heart. They will kill anything smaller than them. In the case of a reasonably healthy and feisty ferret, this would prove to be much harder than the cat bargains for. However, its better to be safe than sorry, in these cases. Keep the cat and the ferrets separated. Same advice goes for dogs. Todd and the Fuzzbutt Rodeo Clowns! --- mailto:[log in to unmask] http://www.netconex.com/toddl/page2/ [Posted in FML issue 4292]
