Yes! I have a suggestion for your research paper on the ferret brain as compared to the brains of other animals. You should compare the brain function and intelligence of the ferret with the brain function and intelligence of people who work for California Fish and Game. I bet you'll be able to hypotheisze that ferrets are smarter and have bigger brains, and you'll be able to prove it, too. Good luck! Kat P.S. Chip's yukky growth was a mast cell tumor - cancerous, but the vet says he got it all and it's not likely to grow back. Is this true? [Posted in FML issue 1748]
