I have 4 ferret`s and a cat and the cat we have had for 12 years and the ferrets 3 years and the cat would do any thing to kill them but i think if you get a KIT-CAT you and rear them together they should be ok .

if the cats timmid it will avoid the ferret at all costs mine do

Our cat does,nt pay any real intrest to my 2 poleys occasionaly he sits on top of their cage but ive never put them together im sure that most cats would aviod any confrontation with ferts.

my cat lives indoors and will try anything to kill them ..

Unless you plan to put them in the same hutch together I would say there wouldnt be a problem, ferrets are not indoor animals anyway, they are best kept in a hutch outside, so theres no reason why the cat and ferret should ever have to have much to do with each other

My ferrets live ourside, but i take them inside everyday to play with them. My cats deal with them in different ways

 

I have had ferrets for 3½ years

Cat 1: Is a nervous kat, 8 years old, hates the ferrets but jump up high where they can't reach him. If they can reach him, he hits them! With a flat paw, no claws.

 

Cat 2: Is a weird cat, 4 years old, she is interested in the ferrets, but get mad at them when they bite her (surprise Ferrets bite), so she hits them also.

 

Cat 3: 13 years old. Runs away as soon as he see the ferrets.

 

No cats has ever tryed to kill my ferrets, i have been more worried for the cats health. But then again, my ferrets also bites dogs that are 10 times their size.

 

 

I would't be worried, as long as the cat has a ferret-free zone, preferly a high place where the ferret can't come up. The cat vil quickly learn to move when the ferret comes his way. After a bite or 5.

wow ... thats great news!! i thought they would be ok, and the cat is pretty crap really! (im not a cat person - dont mind them about the stable yard but in the house. it is a pointless eating machne!)

 

ive been reading up on adoption ferret sites, there are ferrets and polecats up for adoption (or would you not bother adopting????) Am i better off with a ferret?

my ferrets locked on to my cat now the cat avoids at all costs.. i used to live terraced house and in summer let the ferrets run around all day in the yard..
