Cats and ferrets can get SARS and pass it on to other animals. Dr. Robert Shope, an expert on emerging diseases at the University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston, announced, "If it's been shown that the virus can transmit from cat to cat, it doesn't take much of a leap of faith that it will transmit to humans."
You can hate me and all, but I knew that cats were like that. I didn't know ferrets were just as bad.

Posted by: Kathy Howe at October 29, 2003 08:49 PMI've suspected all along that cats were evil. I will never believe it of ferrets, however. Never.
Posted by: Crazy Girl at October 29, 2003 11:51 PMferrets are cats that have been stretched out and fed nodoz. and if you clip the wings off a bat, it's a squirrel. There's really only two or three species out there altogether, and the rest of the animals are made out of messing with them.
Posted by: dan at October 30, 2003 01:29 AMDon't you get it? Cats are really humans in disguise. That's why they can get the same diseases we get. Depression, PMS(my cat is on Prozac). No explanation for the ferrets.
