My critters - all of them - love bubbles. There are not too many things in this world that delight the dog, the ferrets and the cats but bubbles fit that bill. I would so love to capture a video or some pictures but I will most definitely need an assistant - I simply do not have enough hands.
Each of them has a different response to bubbles:
Emma eats them. Ollie smacks them between his paws. Phoebe sniffs them. Zoey leaps for them. Aggie is the observer - she likes to watch the bubbles - to revel in their beauty. Ollie the smacker usually makes that pretty rough.
As for the ferrets... Maddie and Violet are both fascinated, watching and popping those bubbles that survive landing on the ground with their noses. Clooney pretends to be disinterested but you can see him watch - he is just too proud show it. Theo is the ferret equivalent of a smacker - he doesn't pop them with his paws but he uses his body instead. And then there is Finn - he gets so excited he jumps for the bubbles. This is quite endearing and cute - and somewhat dangerous. For instance - today he jumped from the tippy top of the cat tree in his effort to get the bubbles. Luckily I grabbed him before he splatted....Note to self - make sure he is low to the ground before bubble blowing commences.
If you have furry critters at home you should give it a try - 10 out of ten zoo critters approve!!!
