Greetings from a new ferret owner! My wife, daughter (she's turning 3) and I purchased our wonderful male ferret, Timone, just a bit over a week ago.. He is absolutely amazing.. smart, funny and loves my daughter and our 3 cats. The cats have adapted to Timone very well - especially Tom, who is just turning one. Tom loves to sleep next to Timone's cage and chases Timone all around when Timone is awake and outta the cage. Timone was a total surprise purchase on my part.. I went into the pet store, saw him alone in the cage (last of his litter) and the little "$40 off" sign. So I went up to his cage -- I COULDN'T BELIEVE THEY HAD HIM IN AN AQUARIUM CAGE -- and had them wake him up and, first thing, he gave me ten kisses. It was love at first sight! The new 'cute litter' of kits cost full price and I think this guy had a bit of maturity and pizazz... I couldn't leave without him. Now I understand why people get so addicted to ferts!!! :) I just wanted to introduce myself to the list. Best wishes & dooking to everyone... Oh, Timone's "second" name is "The Dook of Earl".. heh heh -- Steve [Posted in FML issue 1498]
