Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / November 2006Gertie Ferret may have a friend....
My brother and I went to the local RSPCA animal shelter today to look at ferret friends for Gertie. We were introduced to a very friendly big albino boy with red eyes called Barney, who was a bit put out at being woken up. He was gorgeous. He was built like a brick out house, and about twice the size of Gertie. He was also very cuddly and is apparently very cheeky. I've provisionally booked him, pending the outcome of a home visit by the RSPCA to check whether I have suitable facilities for a ferret. If I pass the home visit, he'll be neutered, and I'll be able to collect him. As it's the RSPCA and they are not known in this area for their efficency, and I daresay they'll see I have 5 cats and have a comment on that too, I am not holding my breath that he'll end up living at Chez Miles. However, some hopeful outcome purrs would be appreciated. On another note, I am very bloody annoyed at all the fireworks. Robbie and Cleo are shaking under the bed because the arse next door decided to let some really big ones off over his house, and as I'm in a terrace the fireworks came down over mine and scared the cats witless. W*nker. They're all very p*ssed off as I've shut them in for tonight. Helen M > My brother and I went to the local RSPCA animal shelter today to look > at ferret friends for Gertie.

I've been very lucky this year as regards to fireworks, very few around so far and none near enough to frighten the cats.

Ferrets are soooo cute! When John and I travel we always visit pet shops and the ferrets are just so cute and friendly :) I hope Gertie finds a friend very soon.

Everything is fine and all going well the RSPCA shelter should ring me tomorrow and I should be able to arrange to go and pick Barney ferret up this weekend. :o) Miss Lily Whiskers charmed the RSPCA inspector, who wanted to kidnap her even though he is a dog man, and I warned him I have a good lawyer... ;o) So, by Saturday, Miles family should hopefully be +1. :o) Helen M Congratulations :-) Has Gertie met him ?

Randy http://picasaweb.google.com/crmartin1 http://kittenwar.com/kittens/74045/ Hehe i like ferrets, but i rarely see them since they are illegal in the state of California. Of course people still smuggle them in. Once at a summer camp, i met someone who had a pair of white ferrets. And while i was talking to her one of them actually UNZIPPED my backpack, disappeared inside it and came out holding a wrapped Rice Krispy treat in his mouth and while i watched with an open mouth, he darted back into his carrier. But the best part was that the same ferret came out AGAIN, and disappeared into my backpack AGAIN and this time came out with my keys. Sheesh! And a year ago, I asked one of the vets i worked with, "Hey Dr. C, do you ever see ferrets?" He suddenly looked around on the floor and shouted, "WHERE? WHERE?" Harhar, everyone's a comedian......... I'd like to try owning a ferret or at least caring for one someday. No way would they get along with my kitties though.

I really love that. ;) >And a year ago, I asked one of the vets i worked with, "Hey Dr. C, do >you ever see ferrets?" He suddenly looked around on the floor and >shouted, "WHERE? WHERE?" Reminds me of a scene in the defunct sitcom, "Third Rock from the Sun" when they were out camping. In the heat of an argument, Harry called Dick "Weasel!" and Dick reacted with his usual indignation (I loved John Lithgow in that part), but Harry yelled, "No, a WEASEL!" stepping aside to reveal a teeny little ferret. Everybody screams and runs away. ;) And it was such a teeny, kyoot widdle fewwet. ;) Theresa Stinky Pictures: http://community.webshots.com/album/125591586JWEFwh Make Levees, Not War > Hehe i like ferrets, but i rarely see them since they are illegal in > the state of California.
