CELEBRATE National Ferret Day Tuesday, April 2, 2013 Photography by ©Sally Wood Photography by ©Sally Wood ‘MAC’ ‘FWIN’ Ferrets are amazing companions! They combine the best features of dogs and cats with some unique features of their own. Like cats, ferrets are small and quiet. Like dogs, they are affectionate, playful, and enjoy human interaction. They are independent, yet enjoy being with people. Their mischievous and playful nature, retained well into old age, makes them entertaining furry friends. Ferrets were domesticated by humans as early as 63 BCE. Whether kept as companions or as working animals, ferrets and humans have a long relationship. So, why not dedicate a special day to celebrate these awesome fuzzy friends? As part of celebrating ferrets as pets, the American Ferret Association researched for a special article just for this issue of American Pet Magazine about ferret ownership through the past 50 years. HAPPY READING!! ( Ferrets: Then & Now - see page 28 ) If you have a story about your ferrets to share: Contact: 1-888-FERRET-1 or afa@ferret.org 26 AmericanPetMagazine.com
