A similar study noted the affinity for the beaver which has been demonstrated by the American male.

All owners handled and played with their ferrets daily,

Please note first comment!

And here I thought Ferret Mike had started a new business.

Ferret? What? No pig?

[ItisaReligionofPeace]

LOL. A beaver in a cage? That's a little kinky, isn't?

[RikaStrom]

The only problem is that the ferrets become depressed if they are left for long periods of time and if you give one up, it can actually make itself ill due to anxiety as they may be.

Isn't that what got caught inside Richard Gere? Oh, no, that was a gerbil... my mistake!

A friend of mine has two ferrets. She seems to leave them in their cage a lot. I prefer a cat or a small dog which can follow me around, and snuggle up with me. My husband works in Calif. this year and I am in Texas and I do miss that snuggling stuff! But I may go live in La La land all summer. If he can convince me that the gym we would go to out there is as good as our gym here! We are GYM freaks now! Fighting gravity and aging one step at a time!

This ferret hates his owner. =)

Ferrets are GROSS!!! They are nothing more than elongated skinny rats.

What next, squirrels as pets?

YATTA!!

[Texaggie79]

If they are trained well, like my brothers was, they are bad @$$ pets. Smart as dogs.

Poor little ferret, so abused. Can't trust those hippie types.

Thanks for sharing all that with us.....LOL.....perhaps it's time to switch to decaf.....

[Slainte]

So, is that a ferret in your pocket...

[RichInOC]

"...women owners are more likely to see ferrets as affectionate pets...

How affectionate, exactly? I mean, they are long, slender, wriggly little fellas...

[scouse]

You have to buy drinks for the uncaged type. :^))

Prince Abdullah has a ferret, it's name is Yassir.

Viscious little vermin, it ought to be put to sleep
before it bites someone again.

Ferret's are O.K. my wife owns 2, but they are nasty little scutters. They use the bathroom where ever they please & they are working my wife towards being lonely because they do this & they piss me off every time she let's them run around the house. Maybe the title should read, get rid of the Ferrets or you will be lonely.

while males are more likely to regard them as multi-purpose working and pet animals.

What kind of work do ferrets do?

[Ditter]

"Skinny rats" That sounds about right. I always thought of them as snakes with fur. UGH!
