The Em is an "only" ferret but I swear he conjures up an imaginary friend (or foe) at the water bottle. He bats at the bottle, rolls over on his back and punches it, bops it until it drips a puddle on the floor and then licks up the puddle. . . Yet sometimes he just drinks from the bottle, peacefully. . . Or he'll paw at it a few times and then drink from it steadily. I can always tell he's been at the water bottle when he climbs on me with wet feet! Anybody know why he loves to literally "hit the bottle?"
