Norka - (AKA Noodle Boy, Stick Man, Twiggy, Norka-Dorka, Norkies, Rodent Boy, That @#$%-en Bastard! etc. etc.) Sign - Leo - 3 yrs. old Hyper, abnormal, deranged child. He's a good ferret, just a bit of an instigator. Can climb anything and open any so-called ferret proofed object. Terrible thief and will steal anything not nailed down. His goofy nature and odd fetish for cats has gotten him into tons of problems. His probation officer has suggested extensive therapy sessions; his senator wants him to run in the next election for president. (Where he feels the public will vote for him where they are used to just weasels in the White House for the past few sessions.) His adorable "Who Me?" look is well honed and may come in handy for future "Raisin-gate" type incidences, the public will never think ill of him! |
Norka is my terror as much as he is my joy. Sadly he often gets called an adorable little petite girl. He just happens to have a long slender noodle like body and a girlish name. He's an instigator, but also very often the follower who is caught in the act. He is a pioneer in climbing, and has managed to get up on counters using drawers and by pushing his back up against a refridgerator all the while bat man style walking up the wall to the counter. Quite the acrobatic feat to witness! When ever he sees a camera he is sure to strike a pose! |
He used to be the middle child, which did seem to cause some mischief problems. This ferret prefers to be amused by humans than by other ferrets! He is a true Leo to a "T"! He has to be center of attention all the time. His name Norka as it is pronounced, actually appears like this: HOPKA meaning a marsh otter or a mink in Russian. |
To the above here are awards he won at Maine's First Ferret Frolic. His second place win in the longest tail contest was at first a tie. The judges then measured the whiskers as a tie breaker! He's been often witnessed trying to use that cheap line in bars to girl ferrets, "Hey babe you know what they say about male ferrets with long tails!" Ahhh, but Norka will you ever realize you were sold neutered! He managed to place second in the tube race, despite the fact his harness slowed him down! |
Norka recently too had adrenal surgery just this past February. He still is the same overly active ferret, though he has put on an ounce or two after the surgery. He did not have insulinomia as did his "brother" Hobbes. |
After all the candy canes mysteriously disappeared from our tree, did I suddenly learn to where! After they were replaced with fakes, a clearly disappointed Norka can be seen to the right here! Above he waits for Santa and helping him leave "presents"! |
