Nicki doesn't usually do lick lick lick CHOMP! Mostly she goes lick lick lick scratch scratch scratch. I mean, she really goes to town scratching my arm, leg, or whatever she was licking. Its the same type of scratching she does when she's trying to go under a closed door. Does anyone have ideas on the reaons for this behavior? I read something rather amusing in Modern Ferret last night. It was an article about when they were getting ferrets legalized in Pa. One of the senators in the hearing wanted to know if ferrets got loose, would they form packs, and would they hunt deer in packs? It was all she could do to keep from laughing. I think she told them that the ferrets would have to jump up just to bite a deer on the ankle. Sue Nicki (those aren't your socks, they're mine!) [Posted in FML issue 2007]
