Every ferret comes with certain inate qualities, such as being wild and crazy at every possible moment [just check out a few choice Weezil WarDance videos at our Ferret Movie Clips page and you'll get an excellent visual] Live Fast. Play Hard. 'Can't' Means 'Must-Do'. Rebels With Lots of Claws.

  Enslave all humans. The most effective way to create human slaves is by mastering "The Look."

Those owned by ferrets, like ourselves, know exactly what this refers to, and may grunt with recognition, nod with agreement, or chuckle with self-depreciating humor in the face of realizing your servitude to a fuzzy. Although there is not much to be done about this situation, acknowledgement is the first step .... Total and complete acceptance combined with a nicely done human version of a Weezil War Dance is optional.

Of course, every ferret [fuzzy human, or people in ferret suits as we Extreme Weezils also like to refer to ourselves as] should be a dues-paying member of the Kouri Fan Club! Kouri Dues provide much-needed funds to ferret shelters in dire need.

Imagine a little jill who needs adrenal surgery before she can go to a new loving home ..... wouldn't you want to help provide the life she really deserves? Instead of buying another double-shot tall non-fat mocha latte today, join Kouri's Fan Club and spread a little fuzzy love!

  Cuteness is required as the basic part of THE LOOK and must be perfected by all ferrets at all times. Making an attempt at various random facial expressions is a good way to enhance your cuteness. Tilt your head slightly to one side, stand up on your hind legs [our humans call it "Doing the Prairie Dog] or look at your human while lying upside down on your back. Practice makes perfect, but it is usually found that all ferrets are born with this capacity.

Stare silently, unmoving and unwavering, at said human for an extended period of time. This creates a vacuum, which humans feel the uncontrollable urge to fill with action or speech. If speech is first, and your human starts talking to you , telling you how they cannot possibly play with you/let you out/give you snacks at the moment because they are doing something of greater importance or urgency, that is a good sign: said human is beginning to crack. Keep staring.

While staring as described above, attempt to project your desires or current whims by way of mind pictures. Humans call it positive affirmation, or something like that, we call it the Silent Motivator. "You feel the overwhelming desire to give me a raisin." or "We need to be let out for a romp immediately, regardless of what you may be already doing at the moment."

A bonus quality is having a pitiful, soulful, "Do you love me?" look on your face. This characteristic is invaluable in strengthening the power of THE LOOK. Humans call this "guilt." We call it effective.
