Hippie Emerging from a Couch Nap
If you love your couch, you will need a Couch Protection Plan. The couch is your pet ferret’s perfect environment:
- dark
- soft
- full of hidden corners
- comes with digging areas
To your ferret, the couch represents one humongous extended burrow, into which he can dig, tunnel, and excavate. Oh yes, he will excavate your sofa. First he’ll break through the fabric layer covering the bottom of your sofa. Then he or she will explore upwards into the innards of the sofa. Any padding will be dug out and end up on your rug or just laying underneath your couch.
Your pet ferret will squeeze between any wooden frame structure, in search of napping spots. They may get stuck and you will have to turn your sofa upside down and coax your weasel out. He may not want to come out, or he may be stuck. It’s hard to tell. And you can’t just grab his head and pull, of course.
Eventually, the ferret will break through and surface between the sofa cushions, when you are least expecting it. Plan for a ferret head popping up next to you as you watch TV, to your dismay as you realize where he’s come from. Now your couch has been ferretized. It is no longer your couch. It belongs to your ferret, and he will make it his home.
This is Hippy, emerging after a long couch nap. Not yet fully awake, he’s still in a half dream state, in part made possible by the dark innards of the couch environment.
