I just wanted to say that I have had cats and dogs at the same time as owning and rescuing ferrets. Infact my cats are hunters. I see them kill all the time. My effots to stop them in the yard have pretty much become ineffective. Infact I have an quite the combo of animals and i have no problems. I have Chinese water Dragon Lizards, Cats, Dogs, and ofcourse the Ferrets. I have never once had a problem out of any of my animals with one another. Maybe this is because I watch closely. Trust me no one gets away with anything in my house lol. My dog is NEVER alone with the ferrets infact he is in the kennel when we are gone and if i have a ferret out he isnt allowed in the room with out me holding the ferret(s). Now the Cats well hmmmmmmmm thy sniff, they dont touch. but then again i dont allow the Cats with the ferrets unattended. Now finally my Lizards. This is actually the lowest of the chain in the house. You actually kinda need to watch the Ferrets on that lol they always seem to realy want in the Lizards cage and NO i have never let them "play" to what would happen. I think having other animals around other animals even if people say there is a predatory issue is not a bad thing nor should it inhibit a person from getting a pet. The key there is to WATCH you animals closely. I have and will continue to adopt ferrets out to homes with cats, dogs and lizards. Now if some one mentioned say a Reticulated Python now I would realy REALY have to think about that in a hard way lmao. But it has never happened. Cats may be predators but what animal is not. Personally I think some people suffer from paranoya (sp) and that is just an opinion. anyways im done with my novel lol i just wanted to commment onthis because it is an issue that actually bothers me. chelle [Posted in FML issue 4546]
