I saw this clip on YouTube and absolutely fell in love with the little sable kits.

They are just so adorable and I was both laughing and crying when I saw them following the guy around in the paddock. Laughing because it was so sweet and crying at the thought of people keeping these magnificent animals in cages for the express purpose of breeding them to make fur coats.

The folks who made the video seem to love their sable kits as much as any ferret owner and I had to chuckle when I saw the kits climbing up the guy’s pants. The only type of ferrets in my life who have climbed up my slacks/trackpants have been silvermitt and BEW (DEW) girls!

None of the boys I’ve had could do it and, surprisingly, even though I’ve had a couple of sable fellows who’ve scaled the back of washing machines and other objects, they showed no interest in pulling themselves up my slacks. I find that so strange!

But back to the video … it’s about 6-7 minutes long, I think, so grab a cup of coffee, get comfortable and enjoy :-)
