The number one thing, is to replace the fabric cover over the bottom with something a bit sturdier. I prefer the thin, coated hardboard, that I can staple on, but even something like canvas or poly tarps would work. You do need to inspect it regulary. You CAN ferret proof a couch…. kind of.

I enjoy your posts very much- keep up the good work! Specific to this post- Alas, we have given up on real couches, though I've heard it can be done (perhaps some sort of kevlar material welded to the bottom?) and have been going the futon route instead. Along with recliners, it was a sacrifice we were willing to make. When I was a teenager and had no control over furniture choices, we had a devilish little beast of a ferret who thought the best game EVER was to sneak into the couch and bite my father's butt when he sat on it. Needless to say this did not make him very fond of my pet, but the strange thing was that she didn't bite anyone else's butt. I think it was some sort of power play. The ferret eventually won, of course! You have such an interesting way of phrasing things- very funny and well-adjusted! I enjoy your posts very much- keep up the good work!
