Ferrets are amazing companions! They combine the best features of dogs and cats with some unique<br />
features of their own. Like cats, ferrets are small and quiet. Like dogs, they are affectionate, playful, and<br />
enjoy human interaction. They are independent, yet enjoy being with people. Their mischievous<br />
and playful nature, retained well into old age, makes them entertaining furry friends.<br />
Ferrets were domesticated by humans as early as 63 BCE. Whether kept as companions or as<br />
working animals, ferrets and humans have a long relationship. So, why not dedicate a special day to<br />
celebrate these awesome fuzzy friends? As part of celebrating ferrets as pets, the <strong>American</strong> Ferret<br />
Association researched for a special article just for this issue of <strong>American</strong> <strong>Pet</strong> <strong>Magazine</strong> about ferret<br />
ownership through the past 50 years. HAPPY READING!! ( Ferrets: Then & Now - see page 28 )<br />
