Is a rat a feline?

No, a ferret is not a rodent or a rat, or even related to one. Ferrets are mustelids, like weasels, badgers, martens, ermines, minks and a lot more animals. Ferrets are used to hunt rabbits, and pet ferrets are fed meat or meat-based kibble, like cats; if you gave them food for rodents, they would soon die! It's a common mistake to think a ferret is a rodent like rats, mice or rabbits because of their size, but think of what their teeth look like: rodents have the characteristic big two front teeth that they use for eating plants, ferrets have sharp pointy teeth like a cat or a dog would have, because they are carnivores like them, and eat meat. Not only ferret-teeth look like that of a real carnivore, so does ferret-poo! Where a rodent like a rat would make those nice round or pill-shaped droppings, ferret poo is long and softer, and looks a bit like that of a cat, only smaller and turned. More proof they are not rats or rat-like! The best way to be sure of all these nice ferret facts is by taking a close look at a ferret. While at first sight they look rat-like because of their pointy heads and slender body, when you watch them for a while, or get to play with them, you will soon see that they smell, feel, act and think nothing like a rat!

Just use a large bird cage, or a rabbit cage. My rat has a rabbit cage, and she's as happy as can be. My old rat had a bird cage, and he was perfectly fine.
