I have got to tell you something so FUNNY!!!!!  Given how Seven of Six was
so thick of fur and inclined to be uncomfy with close checking we'd just
gone from size and face shape -- I mean, Seven LOOKS male: big size and
short face.  Well, today Glueball was visiting Seven and Gooey tends toward
biting males on the genitals when annoyed.  Seven did some squeaking so we
separated them and then had to STRUGGLE to hold Seven still enough to make
sure there wasn't a bitten penis.  OH, gosh -- red in the face!  There was
no penis at all!!!!!!!!  Seven is a very masculine looking female!  Should
have moved aside that fur earlier.  What has it been: 17 or 18 years we've
had ferrets now, and she's not our first masculine looking female, but this
is just so funny.  So, when you newbies make a wrong gender assumption you
aren't alone.  We all do it now and then.
