Aww, GreyMalkin was the best ferret ever. Super sweet and friendly, and liked any game you could play with her. I remember how she liked "ferret toss" into the bean bag, and always ran up to get tossed again. She always liked to squeeze into tiny places, and for some reason had a strong wish to get chopped in half by doors or eaten.. I will always remember how she rolled around on some ginger and then went to sleep in the wok. She liked frying pans and woks. I remember when she wanted to follow you into the shower. And she loved that cheap piece of black tubing we found at the Home Depot, just as good as an expensive ferret habitrail. >^_^<

I know there are a few shots on the PaCO photo album for Samhain '06 at http://photobucket.com/albums/y1/pacoumaine/2006-11-04-Samhain. You can almost see her in the Beltane '05 photos. I guess that's all I've got online. I can't think of anything else to check in, except for the photos from our trip to Belfast and Fort Knox that I haven't gotten posted yet, but I don't think she was in

Thank you, Jen-chan. ^_^ Ferret-toss was the closest she ever got to learning "
fetch". Does fetching her self count?

I'd count it. I remember how she was always unexpectedly coming out of your clothes at Paco gatherings, like you'd be talking, and suddenly her cute little face would poke out of your hood. Did you also dye her once? Or was that a plan that never happened?

That was a plan that never happened. I wanted only to use natural things like veggie or fruit juice at normal ferret bath taking temprature, and I tried beet juice, but it just didn't stick, at least, not to GreyMalkin. Whenever she is wet, she likes to roll around on everything, so all and all, I decided it was too messy to try again. I don't know how the authors of why paint cats managed to paint those cats.

Were they also using beet juice or veggie dyes? Perhaps the trick was in that the cats did not care to roll around when painted?

When my cat had to have flea baths, the easiest way to do it was to let him have free run of the closed bathroom. He wasn't easy to handle in the tub, but he'd crouch down still right at the bathroom door, just waiting for it to move so he could escape. I suppose GreyMalkin never would have hated bath times enough to do that though.

As far as I could tell, she liked baths, or at least they were neutral. She never fought or squirmed, she'd just lick the baby shampoo off her fur until I rinsed her. Once I let her down though, she always seemed to want to get dirty again as fast as possible.
