Michael F. Janke's post of May 19 said it best that putting road kill on the kitchen floor was not going to happen in most of our homes. The only comment I make about his post is that it is not necessary to shave hair off the cat. Our fuzzies lick and ingest plenty of their own fur to provide the required gentle cleansing action that our ferrets need and love. A week or so ago Bob C. talked about Modern Ferret Magazine. he talked about loyalty, informative articles, a voice in the wilderness for those not on line and a place for vendors to advertise so we can spend all sorts money on things our furbutts just have to have. I hate to burst your bubble Bob but nobody buys that magazine for witty articles, cute stories and scientific information. Lets try and be honest on this forum. People buy the magazine for the pictures. Lets admit it people. The first thing we do is open to the Centerfold. After looking at that from all angles its on to the Pink Noses with pictures of naked ferrets in all sorts of provocative poses, (I draw your attention to the Albino in the last issue laying on her back, spread eagled in the bathtub, need I say more:o) finally we go to Funny Ferret Tricks with more pictures of slinkys doing unusual things with their bodies. Only then do we even think about reading the articles. So Bob why didn't you just say that you write for Modern Ferret Magazine so you can get a subscription without the embarrassment that the rest of us face when the mailman comes knocking on our door. We are all in the same position so you can be truthful with us. [Posted in FML issue 2316]
