My furret sometimes makes this strange noise when he's happy, hopping around on the floor. It's a sound that is made as he exhales; it's very "breathy" sounding. It's something like "keh-heh-heh, keh-keh". There is definately that "hard k" sound at the beginning, so it's not just panting. My husband describes it as "panting/cackling". During those blissful romps around the house when we're playing chase or some other fast-paced game, he alternates every minute or so between dooking and this other funny noise. Does anyone else's furret do this? I think it's so funny! Happy Furreting, Rachelle & David McKyle (Keh-heh-Keh!!!!) [Posted in FML issue 2140]
