Another chapter in the story of Boris and the ferret-sitter . . . I took Scooter over to my girlfriend's today to let him run around there and socialize while I took care of Boris' mess in the kitchen (see last FML). He doesn't get along well with other ferrets, and I'm trying to get him used to them. I noticed that when he and Boris get into a confrontation, he makes a noise I've NEVER heard out of a ferret before. It's kind of a whistling screech, capped off by a louder squeak. Heeeeeeeeee eeee eeeeee EEEEEEK! is the best way I can describe it. I'd ascribe this to fear, except it's never accompanied by spraying (he isn't descented) or a puffy tail. Can anyone tell me what this noise is and what it means? Chris I am Ferret of Borg The Litterbox is Irrelevant Bitter Apple is Irrelevant Your Socks Will Be Assimilated [Posted in FML issue 1272]
