In my case, Gigio, has always been terrified from the vacum noise. Since the very first time he was in contact with one, he run away to hide and started shaking in fear. One day I hold him in my arms while I was using the vacum with the idea of showing him that the machine was not dangerous and that it was not going to hurt him, but the only thing I got from this experience was that he make pee and poo over me from the scared that he was. He is so paranoic about the vacum that if he gets into a room that has just recently been vacumed even if he was not there to hear the noise, he smells it and still runs away. My baby is so "chicken" when is about noises. I have no idea where does this fear comes from because he has always been with me since a little baby and nobody has never ever threatened him with anything. Just wanted to share the silly behaviour of my ferret. Regards to everybody and kisses to the fuzzies. [Posted in FML issue 4847]
