Hello to everyone! I've been reading this for about six weeks now and i've found lots of useful information. I got my little Tigger about that long ago (a MF, male, chocolate *i think*) and we've had tons of fun discovering each other! I do have some questions/concerns though. 1. I also have a 13 year old cat that doesn't seem to care much for my fuzzy. At first Poohbear ignored the fert now he actively seeks out and attacks him. Needless to say i keep them separated at all times. Any suggestions on how i can get them used to each other without bloodshed? 2. I notice ferrets seem to get alot of diseases, cancers etc. I'm a little intimidated by it all. Is this really widespread among the species or is it just that this arena for discussion makes it seem out of proportion? (i must add here my cat is diabetic and i give him insulin injections once a day, but i don't really want to have a house full of animals that i have to medicate all the time!) 3. About the litterbox training issue... Tigger seemed great the first couple of weeks but seems to have now decided that anywhere is a good place including much to my dismay, the coffee table. Whenever i catch him backing up for the ready i try and grab him and put him in one of the boxes. Any suggestions?? 4. I live in central Virginia (Charlottesville) area and wanted to see if there was anyone near me that would possibly want to get together to share advice and ideas etc. Email me at [log in to unmask] I'd love to find some more experienced fert lovers! 5. Could someone explain what dooking and war dancing are so i know if my Tigger does that?? Thanks to all! Marcia - mommy to Poohbear and Tigger Tigger: come on play with me...pleeease!!! Poohbear: sure...I'll play with you alright...*swat* [Posted in FML issue 1733]
