For my birthday my fiance bought me a kitten. We already have two ferrets and heard that if your going to introduce ferrets to a new pet, its best to make sure the pet is young (a kitten or puppy). Last night we let the kitten and the ferrets smell each other. The kitty was a little scared and even batted at the ferrets. The ferrets, on the other hand, just wanted to keep on smelling the kitty, they kept following him around the house and didn't seem to mind if the kitten lashed out at them. I don't want the ferrets to get a negative reaction from the kitty and I don't want the kitty to think the ferrets are a toy. I would like to hear from people who have introduced a kitten to their ferrets and what kind of luck they had of the bunch getting along. How long did it take before all the pets were comfortable with each other? Any advise on techniques you used? Please respond to my e-mail directly. Thanks.
