We put a doll's bib on our oldest ferret, Gino, and took him to a pet Halloween costume contest last Saturday. He also had a set of baby keys and a pacifier. He had a grand time with all of the attention and action around him. One lady approached us and asked if we had other pets. When we told her we have three cats, she said "Oh! I've always heard that you can't put ferrets and cats together because the ferrets will kill them!" Another question, we brought home a MF silver blaze, Oscar, about three weeks ago, and he "barks." When we have something that he wants, he'll make a short, barking noise, grab at it, and jump backwards. He also did it the other day when we had them in the park playing in the leaves and my husband was tossing leaves at him. It startled me the first time he did it, and some times he bites rather hard after barking. We scruff him and blowing or hissing in his face seems to help the biting. The bark is rather cute, however. Does anyone else have any experience with this? I've noticed him doing this with our other two ferrets as well over the food dish or water bottle.
