Asterisk, Historical Fact

[featherynscale]

This is a no shit, real conversation I just had.

Coworker: Is a ferret a cat or a dog?
Me: Neither. A ferret is a ferret.
Coworker: But is it more like a cat, or more like a dog?
Me: It's not like a cat or a dog. It's like a ferret. They're probably rodents, or some other such thing which is neither a cat nor a dog.
Coworker: Who the hell cares about ferrets anyway?
Me: Um....ferret owners?

I'll take that as a "maybe."

I don't think they've actually eaten cats but I do think that ferrets confuse cats. Cats are used to being master of all they survey. They can't do that with ferrets. But at the same time the ferrets don't lord it over cats. Many cats just don't know how to deal with this...

Suddenly I feel like I'm having a beatnik flashback.
