Hello all I'm new to this list and am glad I found it. As for cats and ferrets together, I have a 2 yr old sable female, Rikki Tikki Tavi, and my parents have a 14 lb maine coon cat, Menet (aka Moose). Shortly after getting Tikki, I visited my parents and was curious just how the fearless kit and crazy cat would interact. I let Tikki out of her cage and she proceeded to go right up to the cat and initiate play. From that moment on, the two have been great friends. Whenever I visit my parents, I no sooner am in the door with Tikki than Moose appears, meowing and waiting for me to let his little friend out. The two are absolutely hilarious to watch as they chase each other around the house, often stopping to wrestle on another. It usually ends up with the ferret chasing the scaredy cat around until he jumps on a chair, dangling a paw and waiting for Tikki to try and jump after it, which of course whe does. With a quick swat (he's declawed) and a pounce, the two are back in a heap on the ground wrestling about. I have some great pictures of the two in action. Tom, Karin and our problem child Tikki. -- ****************************************************************************** * Thomas C.
