Meet Rufus...

Rufus is the newest member of our family.  He is a black-footed ferret.  He and the cat love to play & fight; the dogs ignore him & vacate the premises whenever he is out of his cage.  I swore to Cory that we would never have a pet ferret in the house but his little raccoon eyes won me over.  He sleeps about 22 hours a day in a hammock in his cage.  He has successfully mastered the arts of eating from his food bowl, drinking from his water bottle & grabbing then playing with the toys hanging from the top of the cage, all without leaving said hammock.  I have a stuffed raccoon that he always steals & drags around.  Once he even tried to squeeze it through a hole in the wall (that he made himself, thank you very much).  He has foiled nearly every attempt to keep him in the cage.  How can something with such a small head & therefore brain, untie knots?
