Do ferrets make good watch animals? We fuzzy lovers all agree that they are *very* curious and inquisitive. My female sable, Nuke Skyjoker, somehow believes that she is in charge of our apartment while we are gone. In our old apartment, she used to sleep in a pouch under the footrest of our armchair. Every time I came home, I called out, "Hi, kids. Mommy is home. Come out and kiss my feet!" Nuke, without fail, poked her head out of the pouch with her narrow sleepy eyes, as if to say "Oh, it's mom..." Then retreated into the comfy pouchbed again. She didn't even come out to sniff my feet or check my backpack (this chore would be done later when mom was not looking...). But I love the feeling that she, with her tiny little body, tried to have things under control.
