ferret attacks baby kitten

I found two baby kittens today in my backyard. I was letting them walk around the house when i decided to let my ferret named Darren meet the baby kittens and see how he would react. It started out
great when he took it alittle bit to far and decided that the baby kitten looked like a nice rodent to play with or kill. I sort of knew he would react like this since he very curious of little things that move and i guess his wild cousins side kicked in. excuse the sounds affect .The kitten was not harmed!

@PISSTARD no it didn't die. The kitten got

adopted the same day.

WTF Are you people fucking retarded? Why did freak like that? if that ferret wanted to eat or hurt those kittens that ferret would have fucked them up as soon as you put the ferret on the ground and if your gonna get all OMG about the ferret wanting to play then you shouldnt have put the kittens and the ferret in the same area cmon wheres your common sense

for your information there is never nothing wrong with introducing two animals with close super vision. i want the kittens to get along with my ferret so when it grows up it will except him as a friend. and yes i do know that ferrets are predators by nature. now how is that retarted? you want me to give the kittens away just because i have a ferret? do you want me to introduce my ferret the kitten when its much older?

[marcoramone]

i know a whole lot more of what my fuzzie is capable of doing. not all ferrets are the same. its not like i let the kittens alone with the ferret. introducing the kitten at a older age is more dangerous thing to do then introducing with young. so next time think before you miss judge someone retard.

Some of the comments are completely asinine. First off, ferrets are hardwired to be carnivores and eat mostly mice, rats, rabbits, birds, etc in the wild. Take a wild guess at what animal in this video was the size of a rat or a small rabbit? Second, ferrets are very rough playing animals. You knew better than to put the two together. So shame on ferret? No way. I say shame on owner.

I would have waited till the kittens were a little older so the ferret would tend to see them as playmates rather than possible prey. If if play was the intention, ferrets are much tougher skinned than cats and a cat needs its full agility to play safely with a ferret.

Posting this really was not a good idea.

From what I'm seeing, the ferret was not intending to harm the kittens. You own ferrets, you know they bite/nip when they play and are curious. Your overreaction toward the end really put me off :/. If you were worried about that happening you should have introduced the kits when they were a tad older.

Otherwise...yeah. Doing this wasn't that wise.

I have a two-month-old kitten and a 9-month-old ferret. When introduced to the kitten, my ferret slowly and gently attempted to sniff the kitten. When the kitten hissed, my ferret knew when he wasn't wanted and went to play somewhere else. Yes, I have a ferret AND a small kitten, and in all honesty my kitten is more likely to attack my ferret than my ferret is to hurt a fly. Every animal is an individual, so speak for yourselves.

ur the dumbest f"ck i know lol a ferret with kittens? CLEVER. thats animal cruelty

[sparcklicity]

And, if you take care of your ferret well and train them well, they wouldnt want to eat, or kill, anything. They just like to play and be loved.

So if some of you are saying your ferret would kill them..? Well there is something wrong with how you take care of them or you just have a bad pick in the litter.

[sparcklicity]

Okay WELL. this all shows that 99 our of hundred people dont have ferrets, because if you did you would know that each ferret in the usa is from Marshells (the ONLY ferret breeding company in the USA). And if not, then it was born at home (which is illegal but possible) but either way when they were born they were USE to people (probably animals to) and DEPENDED on them.

Yeah, okay so they ate little animals in the wild. DOES HER HOUSE LOOK LIKE THE WILD TO YOU?

Stop hating on her.

[clarabell997]

that is cruel !

[neilbee]

My Ferret would have killed this in a heartbeat!

Ferrets do play rough, but thoose kitten are too young to play with the ferret. My kitten is about 3 m/o, and PLAYS ALL DAY w/ my ferret. My ferret is like 5 m/o. But they get along so well that when i put the ferret away you'll find the kitten meowing and them bitting the cage door. b4 the ferret, the cat would sleep in my room. Now he sleeps by the cage, Ive caught them sleeping together in it. Depends on the animals personality, each cat or ferret is different, like each person is different.
