Fifi is VERY happy! She's in my room with me now going thro my purse. She doesn't chew cords or anything, she could do damage with her claws but she doesn't. She sleeps and eats mostly. She will play rough with my hands but I put a sock or a puppet on so she can play with me like that.
She is a bit overweight. She loves to eat so much and so it's really hard not to overfeed her. I am hoping that she loses some around springtime. In the wild they would be bulking up for winter when food is scarce. She also will get more lethargic as the time goes on through winter. (so I'm told) I live in Florida but Fifi's inherited genes don't know that.
I love having her. She is different from a dog or a cat but very cool.
My husband didn't realize she would have to live inside when he bought her as a surprise for me for my birthday. I've always wanted a skunk. He is good about her as long as I don't let her steal his socks. She will collect things and take them into her bed so that it is more snuggly.
Yes ,having a skunk is great!! |
