when he disappears.....

Note: His name has nothing to do with race, we named him that because he spooked easily as a kitten.

number two. He was my father in law's cat. He had had a black cat named Merlin...and then, when he died, he got this one...and named him...Merlin. :) :hi:

Cosmo.



His long ass tail.




His brother, Ricco.

:hi:

The cat is right there, why won't she answer the phone?

Babe(I prefer Bandit)


Cocoa


The whole crew(Lola, Missy(Mischeif), Babe and Cocoa) taking a nap in my daughters drawer

:P

Babe looks like my Tetsuo.

They are so much fun. Babe and Cocoa are so full of energy! They are really giving Missy and Lola a run for their ferret money!
Crawling in my pants leg and licking my knee! Ahhhhh!!!!!!

a pile of ferrets sleeping in a hammock is about the cutest thing I've ever seen!

She looks a lot like the collie, Penny, that my parents had when I was born. She was a wonderful dog--I still miss her.

Here's my Maggie girl showing off her birthday present (she was 8 on December 4th):



I call this the "how could you possibly resist me?" photo.

I have two a boy and a girl... here's my boy:

I just posted this picin another thread....Well here you go again.

Kitty and myself from a few years ago.

I want to teach mine to jump like that. I've already got rings.
I love your kitty pics! Your cat friends are full of personality!

I like all animals, but since cats and birds don't generally go together very well...I'm sure you see what I mean. :)

You have the kitties trained, I see. :)

The sink picture is priceless!

but they hate Letterman. They absolutely INSIST on Leno every night.
I don't get it.

Edgar and Leo say "howdy"

She's very smart!

Looks just like my Stormy (named as such as she was rescued during a Thundestorm at old apartment complex).....

I know black cats look alike but if I could get a picture of her at her bowl she would look EXACTLY like yours.

Milo lounges comfortably in his heated cat bed.

I've never seen a heated cat bed before.
Something every fat, lazy, spoiled rotten kitty should have, I think.

what a unique, beautiful kitty!

...and she is the sweetest and calmest cat I've ever seen...poor baby was a stray too...she's been a pure delite to have around. :hi:

When she was just a little spaniel pup.

I've already posted most of the pics I have of my Amazon. I don't think I've posted this one. I gave Darla up for adoption before my surgery.

Be sure and give him lots of scratches from ChoralScholar.

That's the way to put the doggy in his place! :rofl:

Not all but some of the furkids. And I saw other adorable fuzzies... :bounce:

Mojo




And the whole crew in the sig. (Gizmo & Stormy with us in spirit now.)

separated twins.Looks like Milo doesn't like the flash anymore than Butterball does. Though I think Butterball would take my hand off if I tried to put a hat on him. He has the most cattitude in the house.

I lost the majority of my ferrets these past two years to congestive heart failure and adrenal disease. I adore ferrets but the horrific illnesses they are prone to -- all that heartbreak -- makes me pause.

ferrets. They are prone to so many things. I lost Gizmo to cancer in June, and Mojo has Insulinoma. Gizmo was barely 4 when he got cancer and went fast, even with chemo. Mojo is 6 plus (a rescue) and has been doing ok with his Insulinoma for the last year. Its heartbreaking to lose any pet though I am partial to the ferrets. Though they have short lives I don't see myself ever not having a ferret or five again. :hug:

I wasn't sure how one would do with cats but I see yours didn't seem to have a problem.
Are ferrets litter-box trainable? How often do you have yours out and roaming?
Any advice or suggestions for me if I'm ever able to talk my husband into getting one?

Thanks!

They get along pretty good. When the cats have had enough they just get out of reach. I keep a tall stand clear on top so the cats have somewhere to go that is ferret proofed. Mine are litter trained and very good about it. I started them as soon as they came home and they rarely have accidents. You do have to use a litter like yesterdays news or wood pellets for them. And keep the cat litter away from them, one it is dangerous for them and two they will throw it everywhere.:rofl: These guys are spoiled so they are free to run through my room. It is very ferret proofed, on the second floor and has 4 doors between them and the outside. They do have cages, very big cages that they use once in a while. Mine sleep with me and the cats on the bed. Ferrets are great feet warmers.
advice wise I would say read as much as you can about them, good and bad. Places like Ferret Central on the web have good info. A great book is Ferrets for Dummies. They do take work, clip nails, clean ears, hide or put away everything you ever want to see again, but they are worth every minute of the work. They are very smart and very curious. They also learn to get places you would never imagine. Hope some of this helps.

cutie!

I'm really surprised he posted it, but I guess he's a sucker for pet pictures just like the rest of us.

My part pitbull (posted here) has been deemed dangerous by our society, but I have found her to be the most loving dog ever. My 8 month old kitten (posted here kicking her butt) crawls all over her, bites her, and just loves her. A real testimony to the fact that living in an environment of love and patience will curb any inbred tendency toward aggression.

Happy Holidays!

This is what happens when an american eskimo and a beagle mix get together.

I hear they're all the rage in Milano...

;-)

Hutch completely pissed at me for dressing him up for Halloween. He is one of my mixed breeds.


Hutch again!! :)





Hank completely embarrassed that I dressed him up for Halloween. Another one of my mixed breeds, and a big one at that. He's about 10 months and 80 lbs.



Hank again!! :)



The queen of queens, my Lolly girl!


Lolly again!! :)



Hutch and Lolly! :loveya:

I have had Juniper since she was a tiny kitty.

Give her kisses for me!

Q is the black kitty, and the queen of our house. Mustang is the baby. Rambler is the pug and Wynston the beagle/dauschund mix.
