>Our ferret Nero has done the same thing all his life. He leans over >the water bowl (like across it) and scoops the water into his mouth >instead of just lapping at it like the rest. He whole under body >and the surrounding area just gets soaked! My Ferrah has a very unique way of drinking water. She doesn't lap, scoop, or splash. Instead, she sticks a front paw into the water, and licks the paw dry, sticks it back into the water, licks it off, etc. She's done this for over 3 years now. Also, Kitty, Ferrah, and Jake like to lick my feet dry after I get out of the shower. I'm glad that I'm not ticklish! Brian, Kitty, Ferrah, Bandit, and Jake [Posted in FML issue 0938]
