HOLY KITTEN LORD I NEED TO HIDE BEFORE IT GETS MY TINY BUTT BUT WHERE DO I HIDE FROM THE WEIRD LOOKING WHITE CAT WEINER WATCHING ME AND KNOWING WHAT IM TAKING ABOUT BECAUSE- it's right behind me isn't it-
YK- Sometimes I wonder why I waste so much time scrolling through thousands of pointless youtube comments. And then every once in a while I stumble across comedy gold like this. Thanks for the laugh.
The kitten is like,...... ... "What the hell did I get into here!....Hey, lady you got a bad rat problem and I'm just one cat....you gonna need a lot more cats!"
God: 🤔 You know those fuzzy danger noodles? Angel: Caterpillars. God: Whatever. Take one of those and make it bigger. Give it four legs, and make it *super* curious. And call them Ferrets. Angel: Works for me. 😀
My response to all the negative comments. I think you took a scientific and compassionate approach. You used what you knew about each animal and in a controlled environment you introduced them. You understood the personalities of each ferret and monitored them and intervened when necessary. In the end your experiment was successful. They seem to be adapting to each other very well. I would love to see a follow up of their progress.
@@Phebe_Lou also, take constructive criticism people usually just want what's best for the animals. Dont demonize people who have a different opinion. I'm seeing this in the comments
Good going! I've been raising cats and ferrets alongside each other for over thirty years, and sometimes it works, sometimes not-- it depends on each individual critter. My older cat, Spot, has disliked ferrets for all of her 14 years-- she hisses at them and takes the occasional clawless swipe if they come too close; on the other hand, my 8 1/2 month old kitten, Gray, loves them and actively seeks them out; he sits outside the door to their room and whines until I let him in to play. All five will chase him, let him chase them, wrestle with him and play Monster-In-The-Paper-Bag as often as I'll let them. So best of luck with your little beauties-- may they have many long years together!
YsabetJustYsabet Thank you so much for sharing this story with me! I’ve had many people say my ferrets will kill my kitten and vice versa so it’s really nice to hear someone that knows what they’re talking about! I especially love that you raise them together that sounds so sweet. I hope you have a great day/evening! ❤️
You're very welcome! I do have to warn you that sooner or later there'll probably be at least a handful of who's-the-boss confrontations between them; but ferrets don't fight to kill, as I'm sure you already know-- they work out who's boss with the whole scruff of the neck thing. So expect a few yowls! But they'll figure things out between them sooner or later, and then the kitten will become one of the ferrets' minions and all will be well. ^_^
@@Mediax5 ik ik, i just meant that if those ferrets dont like him and they would have bitten him, yeah well you know what follows. Ferrets have teeth heh. But what i said doesnt apply for all ferrets lol.^^
@@nickhyena2674 no need to be an asshole with title of the video doesn't say the new kitten just says a kitten meets ferrets for the first time I misunderstood the comment

You'd be surprised how ferocious ferrets are, they can easily take down prey bigger than themselves - they are much more efficient hunters and killers than even cats, which says a lot.
a ferrets head is almost small enough to fit inside a cats mouth, a cat is easily 2-3 times the size of a ferret. if the cat wants the ferret dead, then the ferret will die. its like a leopard against a honeybadger, though the honey badger will put up a great fight, it will always die in the end if the leopard wants it dead.
l a m b s a u c e the weasel family is quite vicious and notoriously attack prey that is much larger than themselves. The least weasel is tiny (about 7 inches long and 1.7 oz.) but can take down hares and rabbits that are 4-5 times larger than it is. Biologist believe that if there were 60 pound weasels, there would be no larger mammalian life on the planet. A cat would probably get 1 chance to ambush a weasel in order to kill it, and if it doesn't get it right behind it head (in order to sever its spine) or by the throat (to suffocate it), the weasel will definately kill the cat.
l a m b s a u c e Depends on the Cat. Back in the 1990s, when I owned two ferrets, I watched them interact with a bunch of different cats. Some of the cats ran for their lives when the ferrets attempted to make contact (The Ferrets would chase them which was hilarious) The tougher cats (the type to kill rats, birds, etc) would sit and look curiously at the ferrets from a short distance, but if the ferrets cramped their space they would back up a few feet. Never witnessed any Cat on Ferret aggression.
They are actually both predators lol ferrets are strictly meat eaters and if the kitten was smaller they probably would've instinctively tried to eat him
I've wanted a ferret but ever since I've watched Emzotic's vids .. & whenever she said they're musky & the smell sticks to you Always & that they have Naturally occuring Musky smells due to other scent glands in their skin .. No Thanks 😕 .. But this is a cool vid .. the kitty 😍 was soo cute & vulnerable that it scared me a bit watching
So cute! I love that the kitten kept batting the white ferret in the head and playing with a ferret tail! So cute! My ferret passed several years ago and I miss her every day. I love seeing video like this of ferrets playing.
We had 4 ferrets 4 cats and 2 iguanas. Ferrets would jump all over the 6 foot iguana and when he got tired of them he would gently brush them out of his way
That's such a nice living area of their own. Rescuing the kitten was a great deed that you did. I hope you and kitty are together for many wonderful years. Your ferrets are gorgeous! 💛
that is cruel it's ondley a kitten and if they find enjoyment in that sort of stuff they should make a appointment with their head doctor Ann Murphy Ireland
@@annmurphy7012 Ann, cats will be scared when being introduced to other cats too. Just like any animal. They're not fighting, neither animal is being forced to do this, they could run if they wanted to. It's fine.
That ferret couldn't see the kitten, you can tell is sniffing the scent then gets a surprise when it touches it's nose on the kitten. I'm sure it's blind.
This is so cute :) I really like that the owner supervises the play and stops any excessive biting, etc. Not like some other pet owners who think that pets fighting each other is so funny..
Welcome :) I’m thinking about getting a ferret myself, but bit confused about feeding them. Some say only raw meat, some other say only dry food, but when I read ingredients it contains weet which isn’t so good for them.. some people say enrich their diet with fruits.. So not sure what’s best for them.. And I wonder where to get one, I read that the ones from shop might be sick, but then private breeders often teach them to haunt and I want a sweet, loving pet like your ones... Any advice, please?
Nena N Those are great questions! Ferrets can eat raw and kibble it doesn’t have to be either one. Mine don’t eat raw meat though and you do have to train them to eat it unless they were brought up on it. As for the fruit I STRONGLY advise you not to feed it to ferrets and that goes for vegetables too. They are strict carnivores so fruits and vegetables will harm there digestive systems and cause health problems. That being said there food can be very expensive. For the wheat it isn’t the best for them but it makes there food even more expensive to buy it without it so you gotta do what you gotta do. As for where to buy ferrets, pet stores are definitely not the best place to buy them because there’s a strong chance they will grow up having health problems and adrenal disease. All of mine have adrenal disease and one has cancer. So you can only imagine there vet bills are very expensive. If I had the choice I would buy them from a breeder and if not then a ferret rescue like I did. I know this is a lot of information I just wish I knew all of this before I bought mine because they definitely are a handful and expensive to care for. Good luck and let me know if you have anymore questions! :)
I've seen other situations with both species. Before there were ferrets, the cats would sleep all day, then run around making noise all night. The ferrets changed all that. They doggedly pursued the cats, who were worn out when it was time for the humans to sleep. Ferrets do not play by cat rules; they don't take a hint [hiss] that they've had enough. They keep coming. They're relentless. The only refuge the cats had were higher places that required jumping.
I love the ferret enrichment. My ferret has her own room....the sunroom. This video gave me great ideas for her. I love the baby swimming pool full of balls and tunnels.
I was going to tell you something I found out while researching is prolonged sun exposure causes their hair to thin... I was glad when I found that out because I would have never thought about that If you already know then I am sure you have done something to reduce the exposure,
My boys (ferrets) absolutely love my cat they will tease her and play fight with her, Leroy even tries to cuddle with her and will literally crawl really slowly toward her so she doesn’t “attack” him and he’ll just lay as close as he can get to her
You got lucky that the initial attack by the ferret was just the one-time thing. It always puts me on edge when pet owners introduce a new animal to several animals at once. As I understand it, you should always introduce a new cat to your pets at home on a one-on-one basis, because that ensures that the new cat or the other animals don't feel overwhelmed, potentially getting so stressed that an attack leading to injury occurs. All's well that ends well I guess, and either way, congrats on the new (I know I'm over a year late, but w/e) cat!
OMG! So adorbs!!! Thank you for sharing! Really enjoyed seeing these cuties! You are a great ferret mommy! You have lots of toys and enrichment items for them!☺️😚👍
My cat and ferret were born on the same day, got both of them at 9 weekd old. They loved playing with eachother but now the ferret hormones are acting up and he doesn't like the cat anymore... Eventhough the cat always tries to break into the ferret room to cuddle and play with him, He will rub the cage and purr
I had a ferret and two cats, she tried to kill both. I'm dead serious, she tried to bite down on their backs and pull up. We separated them after the first time it happened. She was one of the sweetest animals I knew, I even brought her to my elementary class once and she just chilled in my arms the whole time. But she had a real problem with the cats, and she was fixed.
I used to have a ferret. He spent about 6 years of his life being a solo pet. Then I got a female baby ferret. He was not happy about the "intruder" in his territory. Initially, I had to keep them in separate cages, because the big guy was super aggressive to her and tried to "kidnap" her or choke her or something. She grew up quickly and started to initiate playtime with him. He was rejecting her at first. After about 2 weeks of hard work of keeping them in peace, they not only learned to cohabit but also always slept together in a cuddle in the same beds. They became literally like a brother and sister. To summarize, don't give people who criticize you the time of day, they don't understand the patience and worry it sometimes takes to have pets (especially of different species) live together peacefully. This process was necessary.
I had same experience my end up bad they almost killed each other, and it was two girls! Needed to gave the new one to my friend because otherwise they would need to live in cage which my first one was just like nope she doesn't live in cage for 3 years and I will never let her be in cage because of another ferret, year later I had chance to have foster ferret for a while and they became best buddies no bitting, not fighting nothing they were like one (without kidding) I was happy, but in the end because of new ferrets heart she passed away after 8months 😭😭😭
I think you handled this really well! You showed your ferret it wasn't okay to attack the cat and by the end it seemed like they were all getting along fine.
I absolutely LOVE ferrets. i have 4 of them in my life. i'm not normally into animal videos , but that was adorable.. i'm amazed how quickly the kitten warmed up to them.
Its cute too when you see that the kitten has calmed down n isnt afraid of them because she starts pouncing around n playing with them like they are other kittens
Cats and ferrets make great companions! I assure you that the ferret was not being aggressive to the kitten. They love to play and challenge others to join in and that is how they decide if you are a friend or foe. If they join in, they are a friend. If they do not, then they begin to show more dominance and/or sometimes aggressive behavior. By nature they are curious and playful. However, they are also great hunters and will kill birds and other small animals that are their natural prey. This is instinctual and is NOT something that is their fault or can be trained out of them.
Kathleen Beveridge The one that was more aggressive is the more dominant ferret of the group. She will chase Nyla (my kitten) out of the room and I can’t leave them alone or else they bite each others necks pretty hard. We’ve also had mouse problems where they sneak into the ferrets cage for food and the ferrets don’t do anything about it. I think my ferrets are broken lol.

Your mess is beautiful! It's not even a mess it's a loving home! God bless!
Teresa Young Thank you so much! Your comment made my morning. :)
Goddamn your profile picture is nightmare fuel!
So cute! I love that the kitten kept batting the white ferret in the head and playing with a ferret tail! So cute! My ferret passed several years ago and I miss her every day. I love seeing video like this of ferrets playing.
We had 4 ferrets 4 cats and 2 iguanas. Ferrets would jump all over the 6 foot iguana and when he got tired of them he would gently brush them out of his way
J Mihalic That’s so neat. I just love how different animals can get along. 😊

Hefipale Burp ...there all gone now. Wish I could have done a video back then
That's such a nice living area of their own. Rescuing the kitten was a great deed that you did. I hope you and kitty are together for many wonderful years. Your ferrets are gorgeous! 💛
Cookie Dee Awe thank you so much for the lovely compliments you’re so sweet. ❤️
Phebe Lou...And you're triple sweet😉💜
I hope your adorable kitten and ferrets continue to get along well. I'd hate to see any of them harmed. Do you separate them when you leave home?
That cat looks scared out of its mind
Definitely scared at first but I think it got used to the ferrets afterwards.
Drama queen
that is cruel it's ondley a kitten and if they find enjoyment in that sort of stuff they should make a appointment with their head doctor Ann Murphy Ireland
@@annmurphy7012 Ann, cats will be scared when being introduced to other cats too. Just like any animal. They're not fighting, neither animal is being forced to do this, they could run if they wanted to. It's fine.
5:58 ferret calls kittens bluff attack,
then kitten proceeds to say "Abort Abort, When in doubt, I'm out! Lmbo
4:28
"I beg your pardon, sir, but did you just pet me?"
😹🐭
That ferret couldn't see the kitten, you can tell is sniffing the scent then gets a surprise when it touches it's nose on the kitten. I'm sure it's blind.
Laura Walker all ferrets have awful vision (: they navigate using smell and sound
4:29 when the teacher asks you a question but you weren't paying attention
4:25 ferret.exe has stopped working
Kitty:Aight i'm brave now, i got this.
Ferret flinches......
Kitty: Nope....mommy get em off me
This is so cute :) I really like that the owner supervises the play and stops any excessive biting, etc. Not like some other pet owners who think that pets fighting each other is so funny..
Nena N Thank you so much! 💗
I 2nd that 100%!
Thank you for a sweet video that showed a real loving atmosphere for your furry friends.
BritIronRebel Thank you!
Welcome :) I’m thinking about getting a ferret myself, but bit confused about feeding them. Some say only raw meat, some other say only dry food, but when I read ingredients it contains weet which isn’t so good for them.. some people say enrich their diet with fruits.. So not sure what’s best for them.. And I wonder where to get one, I read that the ones from shop might be sick, but then private breeders often teach them to haunt and I want a sweet, loving pet like your ones... Any advice, please?
Nena N Those are great questions! Ferrets can eat raw and kibble it doesn’t have to be either one. Mine don’t eat raw meat though and you do have to train them to eat it unless they were brought up on it. As for the fruit I STRONGLY advise you not to feed it to ferrets and that goes for vegetables too. They are strict carnivores so fruits and vegetables will harm there digestive systems and cause health problems. That being said there food can be very expensive. For the wheat it isn’t the best for them but it makes there food even more expensive to buy it without it so you gotta do what you gotta do. As for where to buy ferrets, pet stores are definitely not the best place to buy them because there’s a strong chance they will grow up having health problems and adrenal disease. All of mine have adrenal disease and one has cancer. So you can only imagine there vet bills are very expensive. If I had the choice I would buy them from a breeder and if not then a ferret rescue like I did. I know this is a lot of information I just wish I knew all of this before I bought mine because they definitely are a handful and expensive to care for. Good luck and let me know if you have anymore questions! :)
that is one strange dog you got there
adolphin flipper
And several odd hamsters...
It’s a longboiii
It has autism
Fella From Zagreb I think I'll call ferrets longbois now
We've had a bufget cut on cat production
You can never have a dull day with ferrets and kittens around. Love them both 😁🥰
I've seen other situations with both species. Before there were ferrets, the cats would sleep all day, then run around making noise all night. The ferrets changed all that. They doggedly pursued the cats, who were worn out when it was time for the humans to sleep.
Ferrets do not play by cat rules; they don't take a hint [hiss] that they've had enough. They keep coming. They're relentless. The only refuge the cats had were higher places that required jumping.
So fun to see cats and ferrets interact with each other. I've had cats all my life, looks like you found yourself an explorer :P
Awe that's cool and thank you haha yeah she really is a handful.
Cats and ferrets love each other, it's so weird, but also so cute!!
Jessica Rich Yes ferrets love the taste
Crashv01 what?
Jessica Rich you haven't seen the comment section where everyone is saying the ferrets will eat the kitten
I can just hear the ferrets screaming "YOU PICKED THE WRONG HOUSE FOOL"
I love the ferret enrichment. My ferret has her own room....the sunroom. This video gave me great ideas for her. I love the baby swimming pool full of balls and tunnels.
I was going to tell you something I found out while researching is prolonged sun exposure causes their hair to thin... I was glad when I found that out because I would have never thought about that If you already know then I am sure you have done something to reduce the exposure,
My boys (ferrets) absolutely love my cat they will tease her and play fight with her, Leroy even tries to cuddle with her and will literally crawl really slowly toward her so she doesn’t “attack” him and he’ll just lay as close as he can get to her
Nikole Trevino Awe how sweet lol
You got lucky that the initial attack by the ferret was just the one-time thing. It always puts me on edge when pet owners introduce a new animal to several animals at once. As I understand it, you should always introduce a new cat to your pets at home on a one-on-one basis, because that ensures that the new cat or the other animals don't feel overwhelmed, potentially getting so stressed that an attack leading to injury occurs.
All's well that ends well I guess, and either way, congrats on the new (I know I'm over a year late, but w/e) cat!
You’re a good person!! You found a kitten in need of a home and you gave her yours!! Kudos to you!!
4:27 - Hello darkness my old friend...
It stayed there so long after that lol
@@wnrr2696 Vietnam flashbacks
Doppe I feel like it transcends time. The ferrets reality got broken
For a second when I was scrolling through my recommendations feed, the thumbnail looked like a ferret holding a kitten at gunpoint 😂
The kitten will remember this day when the ferrets least expecting
What's more adorable than one ferret? 3 ferrets and a kitten
OMG! So adorbs!!! Thank you for sharing! Really enjoyed seeing these cuties! You are a great ferret mommy! You have lots of toys and enrichment items for them!☺️😚👍
My cat and ferret were born on the same day, got both of them at 9 weekd old. They loved playing with eachother but now the ferret hormones are acting up and he doesn't like the cat anymore... Eventhough the cat always tries to break into the ferret room to cuddle and play with him, He will rub the cage and purr
Connor Kruithof Awe poor kitty. Does your ferret have adrenal disease? That could be why it’s hormones are acting up.
that would make sence
I had a ferret and two cats, she tried to kill both. I'm dead serious, she tried to bite down on their backs and pull up. We separated them after the first time it happened.
She was one of the sweetest animals I knew, I even brought her to my elementary class once and she just chilled in my arms the whole time. But she had a real problem with the cats, and she was fixed.
Strange. My cats and dog and ferrets always got along. Cockatiel....+1 kitty. RIP Cockatiel.
Sara Nightfire That’s how ferrets play.

That's what I call a little happy place or a little paradise. more animal please, they are bringing peace in our souls😊❤️
You take such nice care of your animals. Look at their toys! From one pet lover to another, thank you!
I say again, Ferrets are basically cylindrical cat doggos ( :
They stink. Nothing like most dogs. More like a fragrant cat. Litterbox n all.
Actually they're the real life version of catdog
They be furrets they be walking
Winds of March Journey/Perry tribute band gotta keep your ferrets clean and they won’t smell.
. Not to much with soap tho right? Cause it isn’t good for their skin or something. Does just clean water help
Kitten when he sees the white ferrets: what are these aliens?
Kitten when he sees the grey ferret: thank god I'm not the only cat here.
I used to have a ferret. He spent about 6 years of his life being a solo pet. Then I got a female baby ferret. He was not happy about the "intruder" in his territory. Initially, I had to keep them in separate cages, because the big guy was super aggressive to her and tried to "kidnap" her or choke her or something. She grew up quickly and started to initiate playtime with him. He was rejecting her at first. After about 2 weeks of hard work of keeping them in peace, they not only learned to cohabit but also always slept together in a cuddle in the same beds. They became literally like a brother and sister.
To summarize, don't give people who criticize you the time of day, they don't understand the patience and worry it sometimes takes to have pets (especially of different species) live together peacefully. This process was necessary.
I had same experience my end up bad they almost killed each other, and it was two girls! Needed to gave the new one to my friend because otherwise they would need to live in cage which my first one was just like nope she doesn't live in cage for 3 years and I will never let her be in cage because of another ferret, year later I had chance to have foster ferret for a while and they became best buddies no bitting, not fighting nothing they were like one (without kidding) I was happy, but in the end because of new ferrets heart she passed away after 8months 😭😭😭
Ferret: Hullo, tiny dog! I'm...
Kitten: SNAKE!
4:28 "did....did that fuzzy thing just boop me?"

one baby predator meets a much-much deadlier predator
Extremely deadly weasels. Vicious killers. Will kill just for fun. Illegal to hunt rabbits with them in many states.
The black foot ferret can kill prairie dogs like crazy. Goes right down the holes and slaughters them.
All being watched by yet another predator, that thinks all the others are 'totes cute'.
Cats are one of the most successful predators in the animal kingdom. Ferrets don't come close to cats.
@@MaskOfCinder yea cats are killing machines
It didn't take long at all for the kitten to accept the ferrets. I love ferrets. I'm a big animal lover anyway. They're adorable. ☺🐈🐾👍
Laura King Awe thank you and so am I. I actually live on a farm so we have lots of animals here.
I hate animals
Phebe Lou Ur very much welcome. I don't think it feels right without an animal in ur life. I wonder how some people can say they hate animals.
John Paulo U must not be human then!
Laura King I was just kidding relax😬
Too cute! I love how you are such an animal lover! It’s a really big responsibility and commitment. It’s so worth it, isn’t it?! 🥰
I think you handled this really well! You showed your ferret it wasn't okay to attack the cat and by the end it seemed like they were all getting along fine.
i am so jealous of your cat and your ferret because they have a ball pit :P
I absolutely LOVE ferrets. i have 4 of them in my life. i'm not normally into animal videos , but that was adorable.. i'm amazed how quickly the kitten warmed up to them.
Kitten : smacks ferret on the head
Ferret : … ._.
Kitten : starts to play with ferrets tail
Ferret : you have some nerve
Its cute too when you see that the kitten has calmed down n isnt afraid of them because she starts pouncing around n playing with them like they are other kittens
This is TOO cute!! That's a very good natured kitty that loves to play.
Cats and ferrets make great companions! I assure you that the ferret was not being aggressive to the kitten. They love to play and challenge others to join in and that is how they decide if you are a friend or foe. If they join in, they are a friend. If they do not, then they begin to show more dominance and/or sometimes aggressive behavior. By nature they are curious and playful. However, they are also great hunters and will kill birds and other small animals that are their natural prey. This is instinctual and is NOT something that is their fault or can be trained out of them.
Kathleen Beveridge The one that was more aggressive is the more dominant ferret of the group. She will chase Nyla (my kitten) out of the room and I can’t leave them alone or else they bite each others necks pretty hard. We’ve also had mouse problems where they sneak into the ferrets cage for food and the ferrets don’t do anything about it. I think my ferrets are broken lol.
