Well, seeing how you have 2 cats, you're probably well prepared for a ferret. I have two: a 2+ year old Hobbes (from Calvin and Hobbes, I'm Calvin), and a 1 year old named Y.T. (from the book Snowcrash - Y.T. is albino - whitey, get it?)


It's not a matter of being prepared. I've had pets my whole life. I actually got the first pet that was "mine" at age 4, who I was responsible for feeding and keeping after as much as a 4 year old could handle. I've had dogs, cats, hamsters, pigs, iguanas, fish, ducks, animal care is not an issue. It's just thanks to Rudy Guliani and his "I know what quality of life decisions should be made, begone the porno and "exotic pets", they're illegal to keep as pets in New York City. And I ain't moving to the suburbs for an animal.
