Ferrets like to get into everything. However, they aren’t notable garbage eaters. I would rather this strip highlighted how intelligent and mischievous they are.
They do that. Among ferret owners, there’s a condition known as “not dead, just sleeping.” You can pick them up, and they just flop around. Just when you start to panic, they yawn and stretch, seeming to ask, “What’s the problem?”
A little self-hate from a mustelid!
