>From: GJ Jones <[log in to unmask]> >My ferret Kai, America's best traveled ferret who recently posted about his >trip to Florida, has really pulled one this time. I want to see if anyone >else's ferret has managed this one. Oh Yeah! I can top that one! Settle back everyone and prepare to giggle. All my ferrets have gone through a toilet stage. They love the sound of the rushing water and run to see what's going on every time it flushes. During that stage of life, flushing the toilet was a better way to "call" them than whistling or squeaky toys. Well, Mortimer had the most extreme fascination with the toilet. He many times tried to jump up and drink from it, hanging often by his fingernails from the edge. So we had to keep the lid down at all times. Except, ahem, when in use. Now, a certain male member of the household was using the toilet with the bathroom door open. Bad idea. Of course we all know that when men use the toilet they sometimes stand at a great distance from the actual seat, proving no barrier to an intrepid ferret. Well, Mortimer dooks in and takes a flying leap and jumps INTO the toilet in midstream. My hu--er, the person who shall remain nameless, peed all over the bathroom, all over mortimer, even in the litterbox which was behind the toilet. He then fished Mortimer out, yelled for me (I was already running because I heard the shouts), HANDS the yucky ferret to me, THEN tells me what happened and insists I bathe Mortimer. I did wash Mortimer and my hands pretty good. I got back at him, though. Later on I insisted he clean the litterbox, since he was the last one to use it. :) -Catherine [Posted in FML issue 1903]
