Hey /an/.

I'm moving to my father's soon and have to leave my cats behind because my stepmother is deathly allergic. Both of my scorpions are being given away as well because the nearest place to get crickets will be fourty five minutes away.

I'm looking for an animal that doesn't make a lot of noise to keep me company in my new home.

I've been researching ferrets. Does anyone know if cat allergies are similar to ferret allergies?

Or does anyone have any other suggestions?

Rats and birds are both out of the question.

... Pic semi-related. That's my kitty.

A friend has ferrets. Some notes.

-They smell.
-They need to be cleaned constantly. As does their cage area.
-Their smart and climb. Like ninja at times.
-They burrow. To my knowledge they don't make much noise, but I know my friends get into digging fits and make quite a bit of noise that way.

I've heard about getting their scent glands removed as far as stinkiness goes. I'd be able to splurge on a spacious cage, too, since I'll have a whole extra closet that's just... empty. He or she would have the room all to him or herself during the day.

I kinda want an interactive companion so I don't mind playing with ninja ferrets.

I just don't wanna be lonely when I go. ,_,

Actually its the poo. They smell of poo. Just expect them to be a bit higher patience then you'd expect from a cage pet.

Wait closet? Build a giant maze for them if you can. They'd love it. Also my friends way of keeping them from digging at night is to play with them a bit to tire em out.

Please note: I've listed only the negatives. They are damn cute and fun to play with.

they do look cute. x3
I've always sorta secretly wanted one. I really could make a bunch of little stairs and stuff because we have old shelves that hold nothing.

What say you about allergies?

They can be litter trained, can't they ?

If your mother is so allergic to cat dander, chances are she'll be allergic to all mammalian dander. This rules out not only ferrets but rodents and lagomorphs too. Maybe you should get a lizard.

get a flying squirrel like the random anon had a while ago. Smells less than ferrets, nocturnal, gets attached well to one owner...?

Pretty much nothing going on recently. I've just been letting everything wash over me recently. I haven't been up to much recently. My life's been completely dull. Not much on my mind to speak of, but what can I say?

I've kept reptiles before. They're really interesting, but no good for snuggles.

This anon speaks the truth. If your mom is allergic to cats, chances are pretty good she's gonna be allergic to any other animal with fur. You should at least ask her to double check before you really get attached to the idea of a ferret or flying squirrel.

Sorry, I meant to say stepmom.

I'd try to keep whatever's chosen confined to my room for those reasons...

Stepmom's not too keen on snuggling things anyway. xD Contact between she and the animal would be minimal at best...

Ferrets can be littertrained (litterpan must be in all corners, and I mean all) and scentglands removed. But they still get musty.
My sister had one a couple years ago. We're still finding poo in corners created by wardrobes and dressers in places we'd never get to.
But they are adorable, cause constant heartattacks with daredevil antics, but I haven't met one that was people oriented. Polecat is rather accurate. I'm sure there are some out there that are, just like there are cats out there that are people oriented.
