Things that go bump in the night

Recently, I've been hearing some thrashing at night. I just assumed my cat was beating up some of my kids Bratz dolls, which he does daily...this is what it really was.

So now I have a few questions...first:what the hay hay is a ferret doing in my house, second: besides a CO2 pistol, how do I get rid of them (without getting more cats), and third: in a 140 year old house, is it even possible without expensive renovations?

Have you ever found a freakin ferret in your house?
 
yes... lol two a matter a fact, after i bought them from a local pet shop for $130 a piece LOL!!! (that was many years ago. and so not worth it)

p.s. if you're in a state where its legal to own them as pets... why not trap and sell to local pet shop?
 
Ferrets are more fun than a barrel of moneys, and twice as destructive. I had one for about two years, and when I'd let her out of her cage, she would immediately start clawing to get under doors. I'd bathe her (she hated that) and would just drop to sleep anywhere (even on my lap). I made several cardboxes and blocked the hallway off so she could play in those. The holes for entrance, I'd wrap a finger around the outside and inside and she loved to attack my finger. She never did bite me hard enough to bring blood, and was very careful when she did playfully bite my fingers when I was pestering her. I hand fed her dry cat food, so she knew who her ruler was. All in all, a lot of fun, but they are diggers and like to get into small areas. If you don't mind the carpet and other damage, they are a hoot, but they really are an animal I will from now on, let remain in the wild. I kept her caged most of the time, because of the damage issues. Finally gave her away to a lucky soul who would take care of her.
 
Comments on Facebook all say its not a ferret; its a weasel. Recommendation is to get an exterminator.

I didn't know if the OP would see those comments, so I thought I would pass on the extra info.
 
WTF???
You're saying' a wild freakin weasel found its way into your house?
If you asked me if there were any in the wild, or where they lived, or if I ever heard of a weasel infestation, it would have been a reply consisting of a blank stare.

Keep us updated on the outcome. I never heard of such a thing (says the guy who grew up in urban New Jersey).

Edit - PS - Also, tricolor, I hadda laugh this morning about something you said a while ago.

I'm trying to have my coffee and read the paper, the doorbell rings. I ain't exactly dressed to receive guests, so I did what any adult would do - I hid in a hall doorway and peeked at them.

A couple of Jehovah's Witnesses, spreading the Word.

And what are they driving?

A gold Toyota. I swear to god.

Freakin Tricolor's got handle on this!
 
This is worrying me a little, tricolor...
I mean, I'm thinking a pack of these bitin-a$$ SOBs could probably kill a man.
Right? Like fifteen or so jump you all at once, and your swatting at the one on your nose while the other fourteen are biting the bejeezus outta you, pretty soon you're bleeding everywhere, and out go the lights.

Imagine explaining that to St. Peter?

St Pete: Welcome, tricolor. So what happened?

Tri: I got bit to death by a herd of wild weasels...

(sound of crickets chirping)

SP: Um, OK, I gotta speak to my manager....

Tri: That's cool... I'll wait here.

SP: Yes... yes you will....

Did they bring their women with them? The women shave their heads.

2A and Tricolor: About 14 years ago, not long after marrying my 2nd wife, I moved from my apartment into her house. The house is on a dead end road outside of town, just 8 houses on the street. My wife had warned me that the Witnesses stopped by with some frequency. Anyway, one Saturday she went shopping. I slept in, got up and was taking a shower when the dog started fussing. Just having stepped out of the shower, I stepped outside the bathroom, nude and, sure enough, the dog was at the window looking out. I saw nothing in the drive and went into the kitchen, sort of hiding behind the stove to peek out the door's window into the breezeway. Seeing nothing, I stepped around the stove to look out and, just then, a female's head popped up and, since she was not on the door steps, was staring directly into my "privates." Standing next to her, out of direct site was a young lad, perhaps 10 or 11. (He saw nothing). The last time I saw them, though, she had her boy by the ear and was charging up the driveway to her car which I had not seen. When I told my wife about it, I had never heard her laugh so hard. Oh, I don't know if it's coincidence or not, but we have NOT had any Jehovah's Witnesses approach our house since!
 
Exposing myself to a Jehova's Witness...I'll try that next.
Who knows? I could meet a new friend.
