At night we have the ferrets in a very large communal multiple level cage for safety's sake which means that some nights I wind up with everyone wanting to say hello when Hilbert gets his meds. Tonight that was especially true. They poured from the cage like melting gelatin as I tossed them back inside over and over again. After a while they decided that it was a special game, so that finally, while holding Hilbert I did an unspeakably rude thing. I hissed at them. Okay, first point: it worked and I was able to close the door. Second point: there are two things you need to know about Hilbert, one long term and one temporary. Long term first: Hilbert is an exceedingly mild mannered soul who startles easily. Temporary? He had a full bladder. [Posted in FML issue 4723]
