Re: Pouting Someone mentioned their ferret pouting. Oscar is the King of the Bottom Lip. When he gets in trouble, we have never had to do any more to punish him than to raise our voices. Even "Oh Oscar, I'm disappointed in you," gets a big weepy-eyed reaction. Then he proceeds to follow us around, just out of sight, maybe to see if we're still mad. When he's moped long enough, we apologize in his general direction and he comes leaping out for a big cuddle. He's the most adorable thing! Re: Dizziness Our cat staggered when she had an inner ear infection. I don't know if the same can happen to weasels or not. I hope it turns out OK. Re: Itchiness The same brilliant and emotional Oscar had a bout of the Itchies. We stopped washing his bedding in Tide and no more Itchies. Just a thought. Re: Clumping Litter We gave up clumping litter. During a bath I noticed Thistle's toes on one foot were practically cemented together! It took twenty minutes to soak the hardened grit out of those poor little weasel toes. Apparently, she had been wandering through the wet shower stall ("Mmmm. Shower water!") and then, being a good and proper weasel, jumped into the box to do her business. Instant granite toes. And that's why we stick to the non-clumping (cheap) litter. Best to all four-legged and two-legged folks! Thistle, Oscar, and Pico Residents of the House of Wayward Weasels (and Cindee, Chief Raisin Dispenser and Hammock Washer) [Posted in FML issue 1450]
