Got'cha!

"Oh, I wanna meet Princess," my neighbor Judy exclaimed. So, I went to the bedroom to retrieve Princess and was nuzzling her face against mine as I returned to the kitchen. Before I could get the first word of my warning out of my mouth, Judy had grabbed Princess and brought her right up to her face.

"Uh, uh! Oh, Judy! Don't move!" Princess' jaws of steel were gripping Judy's nose. To say the least, Judy did not move and I lightly touched Princess' nose then pulled her back to me.

Judy was stunned but laughing as I said, "I was trying to tell you that no one should ever put to their face another person's Ferret." Now we were both laughing, despite my acute embarrassment.

So, remember never to put another person's Ferret to your face; even Show judges know better. They truly are the most "one owner" animals in the kingdom and don't trust others who snatch them up to their faces. LOL! Also, pet ferrets are not exotic wild animals; they are European Domestics, actually domesticated 2000 years before the cat. And a big plus: they are the natural preditor of mice, so I've never had mice in the 30 years I've had Ferrets.

Author notes

The picture is not Princess, but it looks just like her and exemplifies her ornery personality.

Ferrets are exceptionally wonderful pets but do require very special care. And, they are offended if you call them rats!

      Thank you, thank you, darling brother! Actually, domestic ferrets would look at rodents as someone to play with. But, rodents are terrified of them, so they stay away. I'm like you, I think even mice are beautiful!

      Much love & hugs, SisBon

    Now that is information that is good to know. I have a daughter that wants a ferret, but I have seven cats in the house. Maybe the warning of not putting the ferret in your face, should come before you gather your sweet little pet.

    Best of luck with this.

      Judy moved so fast that all I could get out of my mouth was "uh, uh" Thank you so much for the HM, especially considering I wrote this on the fly.

      Much love in Christ, BonnieQ

    Ahhhh ... this is so cute Sis. Maybe I should get a ferret to catch the mice my kitty Gracie brings in through the cat door!

      You were right, Sis! It should have been "exemplifies." That's what I get for writing this on the fly, hardly editing at all. Thank you! And, yeah, Gracie plays with the mice and Princess probably would, too.
      Luv ya tons, SisBon

    I love ferrets

    Ferrets are a lot of fun and my neighbors had several of them. I love the way they scramble across the floor with their flexible bodies high and their little feet down. Like an upside down U. I have a rat terrier would probably like a ferret because of our mice.
