Regarding cats and ferrets I have two completely different experiences. Pandora, my second ferret, was left alone for about 2 minutes with Cleo the cat. Pandora had eluded us and had snuck out into the hallway from where we heard a terrified scream. The scream was from Pandora who was swatted across the face by Cleo, scratching her right eye. The vet could do nothing for her and she lost sight in that eye. The loss of vision never bothered her though. My third ferret, Bungee, has not been allowed into any contact with cats for fear of having yet another monoccular ferret..BUT..my girlfriend introduced Bungee to Felix (how original!) while she was boarding Bungee when I was out of town. No problems with Felix, as a matter of fact he's a little afraid of Bungee. They have closely supervised sessions together and seem quite fond of one another. Though Bungee loses interest in Felix after a few minutes. So there is my experience. I should also say that Cleo spends a lot of time outside and is a prolific hunter while Felix is a marshmellow house cat. bernard&bungee --------FOR FLO EYES ONLY------------ greetings warriors of freedom from secret agent Bungee. My real name is "stealth biker chick from hell". I have successfully carried out numerous solo raids on stashes of vital FLO equipment (socks, cookies, petromalt tubes, raisin boxes, brooms, mops, plastic bags, anything latex, shoe insoles, and used tea bags). the so-called neutral human strikes back with great fury in one single enormous raid that wipes out all known stashes. I then must re-double my efforts in the never-ending quest of stuff accumulation. I have recently acquired the all important teleporting skill and am now able to access new areas of untold wealth. I have been actively lobbying for more agents through violent and unprovoked terrorist bombings in unprotected corners, alas this has not worked on the human. it only seems to reaffirm his offending viewpoint that if one FLO operative can do all of this, then more than one would create total anarchy. I am at a loss as to what to do next, past negotiations have brought only temporary cease fires. I fully intend to carry out the planned toe attack at four in the morning, the human truly hates this, perhaps he will eventually learn that all attacks will stop if only I had a fellow FLO agent to keep me company! I have promised this to him in the past but he refuses to believe me. Have any other agents noticed this distrustfull attitudes these humans have towards us? signing off, secret agent Bungee (stealth biker chick from hell) freedom and victory will be ours.
