Alexandra, After reading your post, a question came to mind: Is there any animal that a ferret WOULDN'T annoy? (Other than those so big or threatening that the ferret would be wary...or be eaten!) Mischief is their middle name:) And as for the saying, "Curiosity killed the cat," it makes no sense if you know cats and ferrets. Shron & Rocky [Posted in FML issue 4889]
