Question
My mom got a 7 week old kitten and I have 2 adult male ferrets, I was wondering if ferrets got along with cats?

Answer
Hello, I tryed to introduce a kitten to my ferret once he also was an adult male the kitten was male and about 6 weeks old(my mothers cat had a litter i was thinknig of keeping this one) and my ferret bite into his thigh and would Not let go I had to pry his jaws open while the kitten was bawling so be careful of that!. I think the ferrets could easily Kill a 7 week old kitten so be very careful around the kitten with the ferrets. Some have cats and ferrets in the home that get along very well it depends on the animals and how they react to the other animal....for instance not every cat likes dogs and not every dog likes cats the same thing applys to ferrets and cats.
