With all the talk lately about ferrets not liking to climb over the high side of a little box, somebody here must be confused. Havoc has always refused to use a litter box no matter where it was placed or what was in it. So we finally developped a mutual agreement that he would go on newspaper beside the box. I have since made the discovery that he has on occasion used my laundery basket! The first time I caught him I just assumed that he was playing in the basket of clothes, that was until I was him stand with his front legs up on the side of the basket with that certain expression as he paused for a moment. I thought, no...couldn't be, he who won't use a litter box why on earth would he pee in my laundry basket? After he hopped out and continued with his little play fest. Not believing what I thought I might have witnessed I checked it out. Sure enough there was a nice little warm wet spot. Fortunately this was the dirty laundry. Since then I have found little yellow puddles in an empty laundry basket three times. Maybe we should have gotten him his own laundry basket for Christmas instead of a bunch of toys that he hardly plays with:) Edith & co. (Whidbey & Havoc, Orca & Juno) [Posted in FML issue 1827]
