Okay, I was missing an issue. Don't know how because I *know* I didn't erase it. A lot of people say that if you get more than one ferret, the ferrets bond more to the other animal, and not to the human. Well, I'm not sure about other ferrets, but since we got Psycho-kitty, Seymour has started wanting my attention more than ever! He loves the kitty very much. He's chooked more in the last few days than he has in the past month! It makes me feel bad that we didn't get him a playmate sooner! As far as the humans go, be it jealousy or pure joy, Seymour won't leave us alone.He's never been incredibly affectionate before, so of course, I'm estatic! When I come home from school, he comes out from his napping place and finds me. He'll follow me around until I give him a few hugs and kisses. When Iput him down, he immediately initiates a game of chase. We'll play awhile until one of us gets exausted (ussually me... okay, *always* me) then Seymour starts playing with the new kid. And the whole thing starts again when Daddy gets home! It used to be a few games from daddy each day, and an occasional hug from mommy (yes, he does that adorable thing where he lays his head on my toes and looks at me like 'hold me!') but now he wants games AND lovin' from both of us! I assume it's partly jealousy, because when PK tries to get in the game, Seymour gets a little mopey. But he chuckles so much when the two furrballs are playing together, that I know he can't be *too* upset over the arrival of our second child. By the way, sometimes Seymour makes this really bizzare shrieking sound when he's playing. It wasn't described on the FAQ (at least not the way it sounds to me). He only does it when he's playing with other animals. He seems to use the sound to provoke the other animal, but I don't believe he's being aggressive in a way that he means to hurt them. It sounds kinda like a sick parrot. Along throaty sounding shriek. Does anyone else's ferret make this noise? It's not the "fear shriek" we've heard that before, and never want to hear it again!!! Bye-bye! Barb, Seymour, and PK SEYMOUR- Sheez, mommy, don't you ever shut up? MOMMY- Not unless my life is threatened if I don't. SEYMOUR- I am Seymour of the Viking-Ferrets. If you do not be quiet, I shall pillage your sock! MOMMY- No, not my sock!!! AAAAAAaaaahhhh!!!!!! PK- Like chill out, groovy ferret-dude...And pass the cat-nip. P.S. I noticed that someone has a ferret named Psycho. Didn't mean to copy yer name, but it's already kinda stuck! [Posted in FML issue 1321]
