I love ferret-fighting etiquette so much. Like, when ferrets fight, they get so wild and crazy that they crash into everything and fall off everything and throw themselves in every direction and flail with their mouths open as if they have absolutely no concept of their surroundings.
But if one ferret stops in the middle of a fight to scratch an itch (which happens a LOT), the other ferret will always stop and wait for them to finish before starting the fight again. My 10+ ferrets over the years have always obeyed this unspoken rule and I think that’s so awesome.
Kit got confused and accidentally broke the rule, and then he had Regrets.
That’s a technicality! He had not actually started scratching yet: kit did not break the rules of etiquette. He still shows remorse, what a gentleman.
The rule applies to grooming in general! Tux was licking.
But yeah, when I think of Kit, “gentleman” is totally the first word that comes to mind. XD
This is def one of the best and most hilarious things about ferrets.
“the shame… I die.”
I think this is deep rooted in all ferrets because we got a puppy and he doesn’t understand ferretiquette so when they stop to scratch and he bounces on them?
