I read so much on this list about how ferret tails smell differently from the rest of their bodies, that I finally decided to sniff my 5's little tails to see! Four of them just smelled like ferrets, not a bad thing in and of itself, of course, but not as exciting as certain other listees have led me to expect. Except for Diva, my little blind girl. Her tail reminds me of violets! So maybe its not just a tall "tail" (tee hee!) after all, and some ferts tails do smell flowery! Vickie, Diva the yummy-smelling, Moogie (who is doing just fine), Pandora the evil scourge of all cats and dogs, Tank the insane sofa-to-coffee-table leaper, and Flower the climb-up-your-leg-and-cling-there ferret.
