I would like to say that yes some ferrets will chew electrical wires or try to. I have 2 that tried and thankfully I caught them before they got into it. But that was when I was re aranging furnature. I keep my wires mounted off the floor an out of reach. For the bathing it stated the baths or wipe downs to keep oder down. Just because you never had a ferret chew cords doesn't mean they don't. Wires are made out of plastics and sometimes rubber and we know ferrets are atracked to rubbery things. It also says to keep wires up in one of the ferret books, I just don't remember which ferret book lol. Ever cats and dogs, hamsters etc can an will chew electrical wires. As four the cats yeah some black cats are bombays and not demesticted short hairs, I also owned a Hymalayian and it didnot have a m on it, a neighbor has a tiger cat it also has not m markings on it. I have owned an seen all kinds of cats thru the years, more homeless cats and we do have 2 manax who have the distinted m on them these shows aren't 100% right all the time either and they get there infor from breeders and re search. I have a demesticated calico and it is listed as a breed of cat., theres a difference between the too, true breed and diluted. She's 13 now and hand raised, I also have a mixed up couldn't figure out what she was gona be 10 yr old cat also hand raised, both from birth what I mean by mixed up is she has tiger strips, swirls and dots on her and she's the colors of a tortie . Sorry for the mis spells but it's to early and I am not completely awake yet. [Posted in FML 6934]
