cat versus ferret
2008-Jan-10, Thursday 09:24 am

I had a ferret (weasel on crack) for 7 years. They are adorable pets and I would definitely get another one if I owned my own place, but I recommend against them for other people only because they are the smelliest living things you'll ever have in your house. Yes, even smellier than that pink fuzzy thing growing in your refridgerator.
My cat and my ferret enjoyed playing together. I only allowed them to do so under my supervision because even though the ferret was having enormous amounts of FUN, the cat would take it too seriously and use claws inappropriately. (This was back in the years when she still had claws.) I always knew that if the ferret ever decided to take things as more than fun, the ferret would absolutely win. I consider ferrets domesticated, but I think that in a ferocious fight the ferret just has more energy and intensity to devote to the fracas.
I never made a video of their play sessions (very entertaining stuff), but I recently found this other video that should give you some idea...
