Ferrets actually make fine pets for people who can't make up their mind between a cat and dog. They are somewhat less trainable and affectionate than a dog, but moreso than a cat. When it comes to rodent control, they have no equal.

My grandfather used them for hunting rabbits. Ran them into a rabbit burrow to drive the rabbit out and into a bag.
They really look very cute.
