I just *had* to write after seeing the 'fercat' stories. I have a 9lb fercat of the feline variety. Camara just loves to sneak into the little fercats' 3.5 story cage and curl up at the penthouse level, much to the dismay of Sneaky and Nori (the little fercats), who just don't like to share their penthouse. ;-) Cute Sneaky story: I've noticed over the last couple of weeks that Sneaky seems to have adopted some of Camara's grooming habits... You know how cats lick their paws, and then use them to clean their faces? Sneaky has a variation of this. Always on the bathroom rug, too. Anyway, she lies on the bathroom rug leaning more towards one side, licks the paw opposite to that side... then she brings her paw back near her ear and pulls it forward. She does that a couple of times, then rolls over and cleans the other side of her face! Sometimes, she licks both paws, one at a time, then puts both of them near her ears, and brings them forward. Either way, she finishes off with a looooong stretch (speedbump style), yawns some, and gets that sleepy ferret look. ;-) Anybody else with ferrets who do something like this? ...
