One of our girls is a danger weasel extraordinare, and I have to say her most impressive feat is CLIMBING STRAIGHT UP THE WALL. Given any piece of furniture, say a nightstand or tv-stand, appropriately placed roughly 3"-4" away from the wall, Sunny will wedge herself in by arching her back and _zoom_ right up to the top. She does this seconds! Our other girl, Sonic, has not sucessfully completed such a journey but I have seen her practicing, so it is no doubt just a matter of time. Good luck with catching your angel! I've found careful spying to be the best defense. -- eric ([log in to unmask]) and pam the humans -- sonic, sunny, and willard the weasels http://sunsite.unc.edu/reference/pam/ferret.html [Posted in FML issue 1244]
