The girl in me says “squeee!”
The print buyer in me says, “this image’d be great to print–it’s all of two colors– a pink PMS and Black, and it’d look and feel great printed on Curious Touch Soft Milk Cover, with just a wee touch of gloss aqueous on the eyes and a few of the bubbles.”
*taps temple thoughtfully*
Anyone think there’s a market out there for a touchable greeting card of a ferret in the bath?

3 harlemgrrl 06.12.09 at 11:08 pm

That post is all wet.

11 katiedid 06.13.09 at 6:18 am

“Oh Nos!!! I stayed in to long and lost all my colors..” :-(

12 Katrina 06.13.09 at 6:19 am

Bubbles? Ferret’s got bubbles? I hope s/he gets rinsed off!

13 chanpon 06.13.09 at 6:58 am

Uh oh, the bath is staring back at me!

14 Katrina 06.13.09 at 7:10 am

I hope he doesn’t shrink in there-no agitation-no agitation, you’ll turn him/her into felt!

15 Theresa 06.13.09 at 7:11 am

Hey, ferty, you can’t make the club in the tub.

16 carol m. 06.13.09 at 7:20 am

Ferret, I volunteer to scrub behind your tiny ears!

17 smileycat 06.13.09 at 7:23 am

19 Risha 06.13.09 at 8:22 am

@Bouviegal – I would absolutely buy such a card!

20 Bryn Greenwood 06.13.09 at 8:22 am

These Scrubbing Bubbles seem extra aggressive today…I bet my tile’s going to sparkle.

21 Argyle Donkeypants 06.13.09 at 8:28 am

ZOMG! Who got a picture of Billy Idol in the bath?

22 Theresa 06.13.09 at 8:33 am

@Argyle, he’s crying MOAR! MOAR! MOAR! bubbles.

23 Theresa 06.13.09 at 8:33 am

(Nice day for a WHITE WEASEL!!!!)

24 Amy 06.13.09 at 8:42 am

Aw, squeaky clean little ferret! Don’t go down the drain, little dude!

25 Space Cowgirl 06.13.09 at 8:46 am

Oh, a ferret marinating in Newcastle! Thank you, just what I wanted for Caturday. *nom*

26 Space Cowgirl 06.13.09 at 8:47 am

(Theresa, that was terrible. Have urge to play Rock Band 2 now!)

27 dylanimore 06.13.09 at 8:55 am

Yuckies. I don’t like ferrets. :( Ah well. *hugs Caturday cats* I love the nosicle on this one, though.

28 Argyle Donkeypants 06.13.09 at 8:59 am

@Theresa: Here at CuteOverload.com, we like our bad boys lean, mean, and clean.

29 Von Zeppelin 06.13.09 at 9:01 am

He needs a mask and a leetle snorkel.

30 skippymom 06.13.09 at 9:11 am

So how does a ferret celebrate Caturday? For what exactly is he getting ready? Does he have a date with the cat next door?

31 Theresa 06.13.09 at 9:20 am

@SpaceCowgirl, we aims to please. :mrgreen:

32 thepetmuseum 06.13.09 at 9:28 am

Ooh! For some reason I saw tis and my first thought was, “Look, a big bowl of milky ferret!” Mm.

33 Gledwood 06.13.09 at 9:54 am

That would be a lot cuter if I didn’t know how much ferrets love to BITE!!

34 Gledwood 06.13.09 at 9:54 am

ps I did a cute thing as well today chez moi ~ doormice

35 kibblenibble 06.13.09 at 9:59 am

Do ferrets enjoy baths? Heem looks so happy and squeaky clean! Awww!

36 Lerrinus 06.13.09 at 10:16 am

Methinks this needs a matchinks tag and the ferret needs a smooch on its nose!
*smooch*

37 debg 06.13.09 at 10:32 am

@Theresa and Argyle, you’re killing me today. Now I must watch Dusto McNeato’s literal-video version of “White Wedding.” For those of you who haven’t seen it, it’s well worth a watch, though nothing can compare to his cover of a-ha’s “Take on Me.”

38 Theresa 06.13.09 at 10:45 am

@Debg, I like “Total Eclipse of the Heart”: “Arthur Fonzarelli’s got an army of clones!”

[Me Schmoop & I both give that vid two enthusiastic LOLs up. It started out as Hogwarts, now it's Lord of the Flies... I hated that book... - Ed.]

39 jung 06.13.09 at 10:49 am

what a good little boy he is!!

41 Jeef 06.13.09 at 11:19 am

Haven’t we had enough of the freaking weasels?

42 francesk 06.13.09 at 11:47 am

@ Gledwood
Nonsense, the only time a ferret will bite is if it feels threatened or if it’s been abused. If one is nippy, a scruff and a hiss will teach it in only a couple of times that that is not acceptable, provided none of the above happened. They need socialization taught to them, just like a puppy or a kitty.
They don’t stink if you keep their bedding and litter box clean, and don’t bathe them too much (sorry Mr Weasel), and they don’t bite if they’re treated right.
They are, however natural born clowns, and that guy below in the clown suit, dressed in his national costume.

43 claudemarie 06.13.09 at 11:50 am

Axe? Poor Ferret… that polka dot costume warped his little brain.
Otherwise, he is adorable!!

44 Katrina 06.13.09 at 11:52 am

Theresa- ouch. My big fund raising concert is tonight, wish a Peep good luck!

Maybe that is a milk bath- slurp, slurp.

Oh, Jeef, dear, there is no such thing as enough freaking weasels, imho. Hang in there, these obsessions usually only last a few days to a week, other animals will follow. Last week it was bananas- one week it was dogs being annoyed with treats. Obsessions pass.

45 Decca 06.13.09 at 11:54 am

Oh crap. Here I am procrastinating on my favorite website and all it served to do was remind me I need to clean the bathroom.

46 Mary (the first) 06.13.09 at 12:17 pm

I’m confused… is that a cat??

47 T.L. 06.13.09 at 1:03 pm

@Claudemarie: either that or he is a middle school ferret… ;)

Seriously, Axe is huge with the 11-14 year old boys in my area. You can’t drive by a middle school without gagging on the stuff.

As for Mr. Bubblehead ferret… WANT!

48 Queequeg 06.13.09 at 1:10 pm

Float, float, float, like a baby stoat.

[ :lol: - Ed.]

49 Theresa 06.13.09 at 1:15 pm

@Jeef, where are the freaking weasels? You’d think they’d be on YouTube.

Report back, Katrina! What’s the program?

50 skippymom 06.13.09 at 1:24 pm

Mary, of course that’s a cat. If Meg posts it on a Caturday, it’s a cat, right? Maybe somebody needs new glasses….

51 Katrina 06.13.09 at 1:29 pm

Uh, yeah, yeah, that’s right skippymom ,it a, a, skinny cat! *snerk* Beware, Mary some people wish to steer you down the garden path- that is indeed a Capuchin monkey in there.

52 Noelegy 06.13.09 at 1:37 pm

Ferrets will not only tolerate a big kiss on the mouf, they’ll return it! Ferret kisses are sweet and freely given.

53 Noelegy 06.13.09 at 1:39 pm

P.S. The only time a ferret has ever bitten me hard enough to break the skin was a baby ferret in a pet store. They sell them (in my opinion) at too young an age, before they’re properly socialized, because everyone wants a cute baby. My three ferrets never bit me hard enough to even hurt.

54 skippymom 06.13.09 at 1:41 pm

Katrina, now that I take another look, I think it’s actually a Slow Loris. Or a goat.

55 Theresa 06.13.09 at 1:51 pm

Why Capuchin monkehs? Why not Franciscan or Dominican monkehs?

[Or, say, Shaolin? - Ed.]

56 skippymom 06.13.09 at 1:57 pm

Good luck with the concert, Katrina!

57 nismo 06.13.09 at 2:02 pm

That little mouth says “no want”.

58 Von Zeppelin 06.13.09 at 2:25 pm

Katrina, hope the concert goes well, and many bucks flow in.

I’ve bee trying for years to get my “Concerto in F Minor for Steam Calliope, Penny Whistle, and Sledgehammer” performed, but the classical music establishment is all against me because I’m an unrecognized genius. It’s been especially hard since Zubin Mehta took out that protective order against me after I waited for him in the back seat of his Mercedes with my CD of the concerto.

59 Alice 06.13.09 at 3:38 pm

For some reason I think his bathwater should taste of strawberries and cream…

60 Theresa 06.13.09 at 3:53 pm

VonZep, Philistines!

61 Teresa 06.13.09 at 4:50 pm

Are you sure that ferret is not sayin “Hey, a little privacy here!” :twisted:

62 Alessandra 06.13.09 at 9:33 pm

mmmhm! its bubble time.

63 DaytimeDeb 06.14.09 at 4:39 am
