I was in a huge hurry to get the ferret room cleaned yesterday. I grabbed the hand vac, which I had never used before for fear of scaring them. I turned it on, expecting to see four disappearing fuzz butts. Instead, I had four very close buddies! All of them had to see what this thing was, and where the nice pile of used litter was going? (They had dumped a litter pan over). The three boys all did a thorough inspection of the vac and went about their business. My little girl, on the other hand, was fascinated by it. She rubbed against it like a cat, she stuck her nose in the suction hole and then she licked it!!!! I had to take it away and finish it up with a broom and dustpan because she would not let me finish with the vac. If I turned it off, she lost interest. Turn it on, she was all over it again. Strangest thing I've ever seen. Wonder what she'd do with a shop vac. LOL. Shelley [Posted in FML issue 4843]
