I'm just writing to let everyone know that Pepita is doing reallyw ell. She knows her name already and responds to it eagerly -- even if she's asleep (okay -- sort-of asleep). She's a real genius, but I'm sure I'm biased. :o) She hasn't even attempted to bite me. Hopefully what she did to my mom was the exception to the rule. :o) In fact, Wednesday I received my first kisses. Of course, it didn't hurt that I put a dab of Ferretvite on my finger and kept it just within licking distance. When I let her out of the cage she always weasel wardances. I am hoping she will calm down enough so that I can hold her, but it's rather intimidating when she has her mouth hanging wide open and is jumping up and down! Does anyone have any tips on getting her to calm down enough to be held? ---- Also -- another reason for writing is to ask that you all write to Petz Store (their Catz site is http://www.catz.com ) and ask for them to make a Ferretz program. See, they have Catz and Dogz programs, which are programs that allow you to have a cat or dog live on your desktop. Wouldn't it be loads of fun to have one with a ferret? I mean -- they are so much more energy, and then people in Califbanaweaselornia, people could legally own their own ferrets in the computer! :o) Or probably, they would ban those too, huh? Thinking computer petz could get together and have babies and wipe out other computer wildlife. :o) Anyway, I wrote and asked them to make a new program called Ferretz after I noticed one or two other people had written in similar comments. Why not? It's worth a try! :o) [Posted in FML issue 1754]
