Depends on the animal but yeah, it did seem like rough play. However the owner lives with them so she probably knows when trouble is about to start...

My ferrets usually play very roughly, they’ll toss each other around and jump on top of one another. They let the other know when they’ve had enough and I’ve only seen mine hiss at the other ferret one time. I think as long and the ferrets aren’t running away they are fine.

Lol

@@vcagande7998 I grew up with lots of cats and they play rough as a way to teach each other on how to fight and the commotion that happens when it's a real fight is very unmistakable. Two blocks away from my house I can hear cats fighting and dogs two neighborhoods away will bark because of it.

@@brunos6599 very very true

You right.

I think people can be a little sensitive. Animals are a lot stronger than we give them credit for. Both can look after themselves. The cat could of easily jumped up high and the ferret could of hidden in a small hole.

Don’t forget the people who will comment “oh this is animal abuse, stop letting your cat play with the ferret or else it will end up dead blah blah blah cry cry cry” She’s probably making the video for those people

@503 Workshop Hello overly sensitive person that is stressing out about something that is completely fine...

Yeah alot more friendly then my two ferrets. One of em would start biting the other in it's sleep.

That is such a heart warming story, thank you for sharing that.

Aww, she wanted their comfort.

thats worth being on video

Lie

@@dylanw4516 cmon bruh

I mean, their skin isn't so much thick as it is stretchy. There's a lot of scruff, so claws and teeth don't really pierce anything. Dogs do the same thing.

"Ferrets are close relatives to cats" As much as they look similar and even do some things in similar way, ferrets, according to scientists in the field, are actually mustelids which are part of the caniforms, not the feliforms. Caniformia and feliformia diverged 42 million years ago. Similar animal that are feliforms are the mongooses.

Yeah looked like rough playing to me as well. Not to say it can't turn into worse but they didn't mean to cause harm here.

@@Fergutor Mongooses or Mongeese? looked more like dogs to me tbh. ferrets look like rat kittens.

@@xxdeletedfortniteaccountxx3543 Apparently both ways are right. They have their family tree identity confused, sometimes I see them and think that way too. Keep in mind, they are not either cats or dogs, but more closely related to one of them. When the carnivora order appeared around 42 MYA rom the miacids, it splitted into these two groups and each kept splitting. So mongooses and hyenas being feliforms and closer to cats, doesn't mean they are cats just as bears and ferrets aren't dogs but are closer to them, and share certain characteristics, that are from the splitting. There are some animals very close to canids and some very close to felidae. Also if you see mustelid skulls some of them really look like felid skulls, some doesn't.

Areum Marie Oh yes she is such a gorgeous cat. Thank you! :)

Yup, what a beautiful cat! She looks like a playful little character too....Phebe Lou: you've given her a great home, way better than she would have had elsewhere....

You misspelled "cattitude."

she might never be laid back. I have Zip and Fiesty. They are 2 yrs old and still act like kittens. I have a kitty room for them. Zip loves to open drawers and get inside the cupboards. both know how to open cupboards. They are constantly zipping around the house. they have broken so many things. Lovely video

Some cats never grow out of the playful phase. My cat is 12 years old and is still super playful. It is exhausting sometimes but I love it.

@@Mythraen *_"Mattitude V.1"_*

The cat is walking around to claim the area and the ferret approached the cat at the end to acknowledge that he knew the cat but the cat was fickle. He may not have understood that. Ferret behavior is so different from what most pet owners think. The ferret may also push the cat back while sizing him up...but she said on the video that they already knew the cat so the ferret (who knows no "uncomfortable distance" may have caused the cat to at some point; get all serious but injuring the ferret is a whole other thing. They are strong skinned and thick skinned to anger. The only thing domesticated ferrets are know for is being oblivious ...not war. Just like any animal, one can stray from (mental illness) their docile yet engaged attention but very rare. Ferrets as kittens can be a bit rough...just like Feline kittens but both grow out of it and this ferret is not a kitten.

I applaud you. :) My ferrets have always been like MEH and have never raised a hair but like you said, they were given the proper chance to meet and greet correctly without anyone jumping in to confuse things. It's like butting-in when at their best opportunity to communicate. My boys had a friend over and his little chihuahua thought it was a good idea to attack our little (not so little...larger than the dog) Radar just to find himself cowering in the corner. They made friends in less than 2 minutes. He knew that a fight was not what he wanted after that day and they got along just fine. Animals speak animal...and we don't. All we can do is watch their movements and even then; we see something new often enough to just trust and be nearby to scoop them up in a split second.

yeah there would be hissing lmao

Where???

Thank you. :) Blazing is knowledgeable and not just judging. I'm seriously shocked at how little people know about ferrets and cats as well.

@@littleloulou1 You have a terrible misunderstanding of ferrets. If you didn't you would be able to CLEARLY tell that ferret is not playing. The way her tail "fluffs" is a clear and obvious sign of distress. Ferrets do not do that when they are play fighting.

Darkangel 1970 Thank you so much. This meant more than you know. ❤️

Nicolette Keehr Awe no thank you! Comments like these are what keep me going. ❤️

Tell to my old missing cat, if you ever find him on his lethal adventures ! My grandpa had a cat who missed half of right ear, and scratched nose which never fully healed ! To picture of that cat look more scarier, imagine that he is full black ! Because he was full black ! With about 7Kg of weight, and half meter of lenght ! Cant remind wha twas name of that cat given by my grandpa, but i give him a name - Frki :) When i first time ask grandpa whats happen with the Frki (then he was not in all of already mentioned measures), he say that cat had a clash with the fox ! I don't believed him ! Cat/Frki will not survive fight with the FOX ! But latter same day grandpa's neighbour mention when he saw Frki, that cat (frki) manage to protect his chickens when fox comes from them :) They trully clashed. And he lose part of ear in that battle ! Grandpa was think that Frki also get that scar on nose from that battle. But it was not the case ! Frki always love to get lost, and get back to home after month or two ! Where he went to ? To the forest ! Who know what he fight in the forest, when he get back with that "open" nose ! The cat of that neighbour latter at some point success somehow to find a Marten or some other musteline, whatever was that ! But way bigger than this ferrets on video ! Neighbour cat almost get fight - read life - when that musteline bite that cat for a neck - read throat ! Frki at once appear from nowhere and grab a musteline ! Neighbour cat escape and now those two start to fight :P Battle ends with the musteline opened neck - read throat ! Frki not have injuries at all ! He was at his full mentioned size :) Just some scratches on the head, which heal just in a few days ! True i not watched that fight, but my dad left a musteline hanged to me and brother saw it bcs he knows we will not believe :) There was a lot of lethal adventures with the Frki. And what really happen with him, no one really knows ! Once he goes on his adventure into the woods and never back :( Some people seen him in another village, behind another hill - cat without ear and open nose, some people who knows my grandpa and be at his house - know the Frki - they recognize him in the suburb :P Never discover whats happen with him :(

@@arcanewanderness5458 :( hope he come back

Ferrets ARE misunderstood by people. They are very intelligent territorial predators, and if you bring home a kitten one day and they decide they don't like how much attention you are giving the new baby in the house, they absolutely are capable of murdering that kitten. This exactly happened to my best friend. I'm not saying they can't exist in cohabitation as you can clearly see is possible, but I think people need to stop making generalizations that aren't true based on their own anecdotal experiences with these animals. Of course there are more cute videos of cats and ferrets playing together found on KZfaq than there are videos of them murdering each other, but don't think that just because yours get along that all of them do.

@@ArtoriusMaximus You can say the same thing for cats getting along with each other, or trying to kill each other. It isn't limited to different species but also individuals in the same species. The trick is to know how they are in general and get to know the individual.

@@TheTillmanSneakerReview Yeah... I don't know how you got that idea. None of the cats I have ever had did that to bully, it was all playing.

Would your ferret's tail get as bristled as in this video towards the end? My two ferrets loved to *ROUGH* house, but when I introduced a new ferret, my youngest didn't take to the new comer. We'd only see her bristle her tail like that when she was picking a fight with lots of hissing, squeaks of duress, and pee and poop flying everywhere. We introduced them in a more more gradual manner and they ended up getting along, but these kind of fights were the only time she would bristle her tail.

yea, you need to pick the ferret up and settle it down if and when but i think they snap right out of puffy tail mode and just start playing again

i am owned by 4 cats. in my life i have seen body language of cats ad your lot is perfectly fine. Nyla never pulled out claws or have angry body language. Dont stress. this lot is perfect together.

@@prestonsmith9450 LOL. The ferret will only fight as much as the other animal and no more. So if the cat is rough and tough, the ferret with even thicker skin will think that this is just fun for the cat and oblige. OMG...Still imagining this. Too Funny. Thanks for sharing. :)

Latverian Baklava Thank you for watching! 💗

Olivia Branch Thank you so much for the thoughtful comment, I greatly appreciate it. Yeah it’s kind of annoying that I have to explain myself but if I have to I’ll do it once and then leave it alone haha.

I think you do right by explaining. People are always prone to misunderstand each other. So many real problems exist just by misunderstandings.

Fredo Sinsemilla Thank you ❤️

This so much. People are so quick to judge and complain these days. No one did anything wrong in the first video... ferret, cat or human. While follow up explanations were useful and overall a good thing, they should NOT have been necessary! I didn't get the impression that the kitten was eating the plastic material in the first video, or that she or the ferrets were hostile toward one another as opposed to just tentatively feeling each other out as new presences within their shared environment... but I do understand those concerns. Still, nothing about that first video suggested any ignorance, negligence or mistreatment on the part of the animals' guardian(s), so maybe conclusions should be arrived at prudently and fairly instead of instantaneously and knee-jerkingly?

Machetes AreFun so true. Haters gonna hate...especially ignorant people and needless to explain ..ignorant means not knowing: not stupid. But stupid comes when people post their ignorance rudely on videos to hurt others feelings as if in a threatening manner. Well said btw. If anything, cats and ferrets prove to us that people are much worse at getting along with one another.

Linda Bealer ferrets can melt the coldest of hearts 😆

I don't know exactly how, but I have feeling it has something to do with smelling and odours. Cat's live strongly through their nose, and when they do something we can't understand, nose is good direction to try to find answers. [:

Not anime movie zone, but ferret zone dude... You're on the wrong youtube page man...

Viola Aislin*Z Valeryon trying to say people can’t like both? I was unaware there were zoning laws on KZfaq. lmfao

Viola Aislin*Z Valeryon robin just made a harmless comment about anime. people can like both anime and ferrets and make jokes.

Exactly what i thought.

this comment is gold

There are no alpha females they are just grympy bitches. Alphas do not fight just because of other alpha males are nearby they acknowlegde each others skills and how they are both at the top of their game in a world filled of losers.

So are pit bulls and people still have them as pets.

@@dragonparagon5991 What are you talking about? That is the most nonsensical reply i have ever seen.

@@Statler116 it's funny that you see my reply as nonsense but doesn't see that yours is the same.

@@dragonparagon5991 consideration needs to be applied to the fact that mustelids mostly(excluding some of the larger family) evolved to go down holes to hunt their prey hence the shape. Pitbulls are not natural predators in the same way that can survive on their own for extended periods of time because we changed the evolution of dogs from inbreeding etc. Oh by the way at no point did I say you shouldn't keep either I love Mustelids. Looking at getting a Pine marten. Hence your comment being somewhat badly thought out and then your reply to my reply. 😂 PS. Equally all i pretty much originally said was that you dont need to train a Mustelid to go down a hole/burrow. You started a argument for me stating a fact? Thats just odd, go chase your dragon.

FatRakoon I am terrible with words so thank you for explaining. I completely agree.

I always introduced the other pets to all of my many ferrets very cautiously but once they meet, it's a done deal. I've had many small pets around my ferrets and nothing. They pack like dogs and almost instant family. No injuries and they are careful with the little ones. When my hamsters got loose; I let my ferrets find them. They would scruff the neck like a mama cat and bring them back to me unharmed and unfazed. My rats always loved them but only for naps since they don't play the same way. At night, they went to their respective cages and would sometimes chatter to each other until I let them out to play....well visit; then nap and nap and nap.

CreeperGirl335 Yes you are! Thank you!

@@PhebeBebe More animal videos please. My dog isn't as camera happy as you can tell from my videos.

On the contrary, that cat would almost certainly lose to even just 1 of those ferrets. Even if that cat was an adult it would lose in a life and death struggle.

Affluent Imaginings BLASPHEMY!!!

Cats may get along better with other animals than their own species - if we speak about animal they don't know yet. Kitten learns to think animals she meets during her first couple of months are "part of the flock", part of "us", like almost cats. Some say cat thinks human is some kind of no-good cat. On the other hand, many animals understand that another animal is not adult. Adult animals stand puppies, kittens and so on much better than they would stand older animal doing same thing.

Merc of Despair don’t give them food with any corn in it. It will make them smell worse. They’re basically allergic

Holy shit. Apperantly that happened to a friend of mine as well and she still has the cat. I feel like having kittens before they are done growing does damage to there bodies but I dont know.

@@fb39371 well..one think is sure, they are more careless since mine has just lost one of her kids a fortnight ago :'(

@@chedidkamal837 sadly it makes sense, they never learned how to fully take care of themselves how are they going to take care of a kitten? Hers would go outside at night if she wasent careful and leave the kittens to fend for themselves. She had to force the cat to stay inside. It was like she'd rather go play than take care of kittens, probably because she was still a "teenager" herself.

@@chedidkamal837 so I guess that answers the question, if they are not able to fully develope themselves then it changes them.

you should make your cat an indoor cat (outdoor cats have shorter lifespans and are more easily hurt/killed) also fix your cat please!

I still can't​ believe it! Thank you!! :D

We have a hostile burrow at 12 o’clock. Let’s SMOKE ‘EM!

All Mustelids, including ferrets, are predatory animals!! If I had a ferret around other smaller animals the one thing I would watch out for is called "the weasel hold". This move is actually a killing maneuver used by Mustelids by grabbing the back of the neck and not letting go!! Weasels, the obvious namesake of the move, and mink are the blackbelts of utilizing this move!! That's what you want would want to watch for!!

And one bite is all it would take
