I too have been out-smarted by a fuzzbutt. My little Jinx kept trying to poop right next to the litter box and everytime she began to squat I picked her up and put her in the right place. This went on four or five times until she just gave up and ran out of the room. I followed her thinking she may go in an even worse place but she just made a beeline for the kitchen, a place no ferret is allowed. After making a feeble attempt to get inside (thwarted by my makeshift babygate) I picked her up and moved her away a couple of feet. She casually walked away while I rearanged it and when I finally followed her back into the room, there was a fresh poop inches from the litterbox. Needless to say I was more sad than angry because I had been outsmarted by something 1/70 my size. *Sigh* I'm getting a gerbil next. Candy and the Sexless 3 [Posted in FML issue 4960]
