Ferret Couture - Katie & Teddy All About Us

Our Quality Control Team & Inspiration

Katie

I was found in the wild by the RSPCA. I was very tiny so they named me Katie after a model called Kate Moss. Very fitting as I then went on to become the inspiration, muse and super model for Ferret Couture! I knew it was destiny!

It wasn't long before I met my new family and they took me home with them. I was so excited I danced the weasel dance of joy all around my new home. I love life and am constantly dancing. I am incredibly affectionate and I love humans sooo much, I am particularly attatched to my mum.

I am proud to admit that I am a complete and utter princess. I demand a lot of attention and when I am not walking in my diamante harness I like to be carried everywhere. I hate to be left out of anything. It was me that designed the ferret carry bag, now I can lay in complete comfort, keeping check on everything and being close to my mum while she works. Spoilt? me? Never!

My ferret likes: Anything camo print or diamante. Cuddling with my family. Having my ears cleaned and tickled, Baths, Stashing socks and generally anything I know i'm not supposed to have. Dancing in the bath with the tap running. Digging in the garden. Beating up my brother Teddy. Putting our dog in his place. Posing for the camera.

My ferret dislikes : Having anything taken from me once I have decided it's mine, i mean what do they do with all these socks anyway! Having my toenails cut!

Like my sister Katie I was also a guest at the RSPCA the girls there were very good to me but I'd had a few homes before that.

When my now family brought me home with them, I was very unsure about humans, to be honest I didn't like to be near them or even see them. It's not because I didn't like them but I couldn't trust them. Us ferrets don't actually have a mean or viscious bone in us we are incredibly affectionate and we find humans make the best playmates ever! But I'd had some bad experiences in the past so I decided that this lot had to be tested to the limit and only then if they passed all my tests would I decide to stay with them!

Well no matter how grumpy I was and what I did they never seemed to get angry, sure there was a few shrieks and crys as I decided to show them who was boss but they just kind of put up with it! After a while I got bored of testing them. Playing soppy with this lot got me so much more attention and I decided that cuddling and having my paws massaged was great! These human hands were no good for biting all they do is stroke you, give you treats and cuddle you!

Playing with my sister is a much better way to take out all my playful energy, although she is the boss and always beats me up I love her so much, we go everywhere together, she occasionally kicks me out of bed cos I hog the sleepsack but in this house the humans are so under the thumb I have so much bedding to choose from anyway so who cares!

My ferret likes: Going out on walks, Digging anything! My collection of ferret hoodies and three suits! Having a cuddle and a paw massage. Playing with my humans, I get so carried away when I dance that I start bouncing and can reach knee height!

My ferret dislikes: Water, Baths and loud noises!

Me and my brother Ronnie were rescued by the RSPCA, they understood that we were very wary of humans and that all that really mattered to us was sticking together. I have always looked out for Ronnie, well someone had to!

I started out as Weasley but our new family thought I wasn't all that Weasley and I actually looked more like a little Polar Bear. In the end we all agreed that Reggie was a good name for me as I am a bit of a hardman and my brother Ronnie and I are thick as thieves! I have always been a really big ferret especially compared to Ronnie - food was pretty scarce at the start of our lives, so being the top ferret I always had the lions share as I had to stay fit and strong to protect my brother.

Since moving in with our new family things have been pretty good although I have always been the boss man so it was a bit of a shock to suddenly be kicked in to shape by our new sister Katie, I thought i'd soon put her in her place and show her who is boss but it didn't exactly work out as planned so we agreed on joint control, although that is a secret that we don't let out! Food is never an issue here so when the treats are out I am now always last in the que - My family say I am a chilled out gentle giant. well why rush it's not as if we will ever run out now! and I much prefer to have my treats brought to me in bed and avoid queing with the rest of the rabble.

Yes I think it is safe to say that life is pretty good, at last there is someone else to look out for Ronnie and not all the repsponsibility is on me which is great as it give me loads more time to play, I completely loose control, crashing in to everything, flying off the back of the sofa, my favourite thing is playing with my mum, especially now that i've learnt ferret skin is much tougher than human skin (and humans are quite wimpy) so now I can play fight with my mum and not hurt her. it is pretty exhausting though so when I have finished dancing and tearing about I need a nice soft human to crash out on!

When we first came to live with our family I was a super skinny ferret, now I am growing bigger everyday! I am actually the first ferret that my humans have ever seen with double chins! What they don't realize is that I am just growing in to all my extra skin, soon I will be bigger than Reggie and will finally take control of the house!

I am a total mummys boy, and really love the girls, I was very wary of men when I first came to live with our family but I am actually beginning to quite like them now. Once I realized that humans actually love us and can be trusted completely, even when we are naughty. It did take us a while to work it out though, we gave our family some serious stick and worked together as a team, so when one of us was being told off the other would come up and teach the human a lesson. but our humans never seemed to retaliate and just said "No" We soon discovered that it is actually much better being super soppy cuddly ferrets as we get much more attention that way.

My favourite thing is going out for walks and I love journeys in the car. The more attention I get the happier I am. When we get back from our walks I go crazy dancing all around the house and race up and down the stairs at super speed. I have even come to enjoy bath time as I love the feeling of being clean and tearing around the house getting dry afterwards.

I love my brother Reggie more than anything and we are always found cuddled up together, although I also love climbing in Katies sleepsack and snuggling up next to her If she lets me, she usually kicks me out, she is very bossy and spoilt! but I do love her though.
