Confiscation follows registration? Weaseling out in Cali (warning: comedy alert!)

[Jim March]

Slang terms for "ferret":

Carpet sharks, ferts, skinnykitties, weinercats, uglypuppies, "HEY YOU, LEGGO MY SOCKS", "Madagascan Long Squirrel" (California only, when talking to cops), houseweasels, cat toys, cuddleslinkies, and a bunch more.

Hey, if the're banned in California then they must be good!

Guess I'll have to get me one of these too-

ferret "do" tea

Yeah. That ferret do and water and two days of sunshine makes a great perfume. Rub a little behind each of your daughter's ears before she goes out on that hot date and she'll be home early.

Jim,

You forgot the ever so common "tube rat".

That "wienercat" moniker is cute, but not entirely accurate. Zoologically, the ferret is a mustelid, and those are closer related to dogs than to cats.

Right, I know they're mustelids. Same bunch as badgers, otters, wolverines, mink, weasel, etc.

There's some dispute about skunks. They were classed with mustelids for a long time, but there's a lot of argument to make 'em their own thing under order Carnivora.

See, under "carnivore", you've got the felines (cats), canines (dogs), ursine (bears), viveridae (mongoose and civet), mustelid, and I forget the rest. Raccoons are one, and the Panda is yet another. If the mustelids are "closest" to any of these, I'd say it's viveridae...African pygmy mongoose look so much like ferrets it's hilarious.
