We have had the boys for a few weeks now and I guess we are pretty well wrapped around their little paws. They have really broken us in well. They have run of the living room kitchen and (Hobbs favorite) the arena, I mean the hall. This is where some great Fert wrestling matches happen, better yet some really great get the hooman chases take place. The hall is rather infested with socks and towels at times (this being the chic place to drag anything your can pull). We recently took them to The Falcon Ridge Folk Festival in Hillsdale New York where the were all the rage. I am a registered nurse and I volunteer in the first aide tent for the festival weekend. We found a great medical use for the ferts, "DISTRACT THE SCREAMING CHILD" one look at Calvin and Hobbs and the little one forgot all about what was going on. (Mostly delicate splinter removal, blister and scrapped knee repair!) Anyway the boys were confined to the cat carrier for most of the day but they really loved their play time out in the grass on the hill. As far as heat went I used a big ziplock bag filled with ice put it in a sock and place it in the Fert hammock. The seemed fine did drink lots of water but thats good in the heat. We had lots of fans in the tent (30X30) very large, walls were up all day nice breeze so we all survived pretty good. So now that we know the ferts travel well there will be no stopping us. (Well, my husband does sing to them quite loudly at times that could limit out welcome in places I guess ; > BTW my husband has been thinking about this FLO thing and he believes we are all rather naive to believe in it. He (being a military guy) says that it has definitely progressed to the F.L.A.Ferrett Liberation Army BEWARE.
