Hi and thanks to the folks who wrote me about the ferret and kitten. Angel and Stormy (3 yo ferret and 9 wk old kitten) now play together, with Angel taking Stormy 2 out of 3 rounds. Now the kitten wants her ferretone every day. I dabbed a bit on each others forehead and they did staged kisses (where was that camera??) for about 2 seconds then went into a battle. Reading the label on ferretone it does not appear it would prove too harmful to the kitten in small amounts..any comments or thoughts on that? Angel has perked up a bit but still is quite thin. I got ahold of the shelter she was originally adopted out of and was assured that she was a whippet (long and lean) type of ferret and not to worry, but get her to the vet, so both critters will get in to the vet next week. All the posts on the digest are interesting and am enjoying some and suffering with the pain of some of them... Had to go and buy a new car to take the critters camping <g>. We went away for 3 days over the weekend and I worried all weekend about them. Boy were they ticked at us being gone, even though we had someone coming to check and pet and feed..mom just wasn't there. So got collars and leashes for both (hubby thinks I'm nuts), a cat carrier for stormy and space in the wagon I bought for Angels full size cage and off we go camping at the coast next weekend..lotsa sand for them both to dig in!~ elle in sunny oregon [Posted in FML issue 2362]
