My day begins by waking up my pet bright and early. If it were up to her, she would sleep in far past the raising of the sun. After much urging (and banging on my cage), I convince her to wake up and start the day.
The first thing on the schedule is breakfast. My favorite food is baby oatmeal mixed with Gerber banana or apples. Yummy. I always have a bowl of kitten chow and fresh water in my cage. Yes, I said Kitten chow. Hey if it's good enough for them, then it's good enough for me. Also, I get fresh fruits and vegetables on a regular basis. What I love the most is milk products such as ice cream and cheese. However my mean pet won't fix them for me. She says it gives me diarrhea. Between you and me, it does. But please don't tell her this!
After breakfast (and a quick nap) comes playtime. My pet lets me out of my cage for alittle aerobic exercise. My favorite activity is to play chase. I love to run under my pet's feet and try to pounce on them. Often she will run up and down the stairs while I run after her. However, she always gets tired long before I do. I have two playmates...both are cats. The older one mostly looks at me, but the little boy will play chase and hide-n-seek with me. Sometimes he gets mean and traps me in a corner, but I get revenge by hiding in a hole in the cupboards where he cant get me.
I would have to say that my favorite time is shower time. I wish I could have a shower everyday, but my pet says its bad for my skin. The bad part about showers, though, that my pet always feels the need to trim my nails before one. (I hate that.) I try to squirm and wiggle all around. However it never seems to work, she somehow manages to finish the job. Now I don't want you to get the wrong impression here. I don't like getting a bath. I just love the water. My pet will lather me up with some shampoo. (I hate that too.) Then, when she rinses me off, watch out! I will run around in circles in the shower. Sometimes I will even jump up and down and attack my pet's toes. She doesn't like that. When it is time to get out, I rub my body on the towel my pet lays out for me. When I am dry, she releases me from the bathroom and I go wild. I run from room to room, jumping pouncing. Oh, what a life.
One thing I really hate is getting my ears cleaned. My pet puts these drops in my ears and rubs it in. As if that isn't bad enough, she takes a q-tip and cleans out the dirt and wax build up. Although I know it has to be done, I dislike it, and do my best to get out of it.
All the pouncing, running, wiggling and chasing gets me tired. I go back in my ferret mansion for a quick nap on my favorite hammock. **Yawn** Goodness. With all this talk about playing. I am feeling tired. Think I will take a nap right now. |
