Ferret Actor Retires After Illustrious Film Career
Ferret Actor Retires After Illustrious Film Career
Falcor the Ferret has been in front of the camera for two exciting years. You may remember him from such films as Jake & Jasper: A Ferret Tale, and a number of Marshall Pet Products commercials.
Now it’s finally time for Falcor to hang up his spurs and enjoy the good life.
“He’s retiring from the entertainment industry,” says director Alison Parker. “However, rumors have begun to surface that Falcor is about to pull a Jay-Z and return to the world of acting.”
Time will tell.
The Ferret Squad is an independent feature film that is fundraising to help cover production costs until June 10. If anyone would like to contribute, they can donate at theferretsquad.com and 5% of all funds raised go to LegalizeFerrets.org!

“It was a really close match,” says Phil Conrad, sports reporter for ESPN 7. “We knew Yogi and Fifi were pretty evenly matched. But he really pulled it out in the final moments.”

Kitten’s Latest Power Ballad Tops UK Charts
Kitten’s Latest Power Ballad Tops UK Charts
Move over, Adele. The next great soul singer has arrived, and her name is Daisy.
The Persian kitten may only be two months old, but her exciting blend of piano pop, R&B and electronica has taken Europe by storm. Her latest single, “Snuggle Me, Snuggle You,” has reached the top of the UK music charts, and the U.S. release is scheduled to hit iTunes in early June.
“Her voice is unstoppable,” says Marc Keller, music critic for Rolling Stone magazine. “Really rich tone, and the control of a seasoned alto. This kitten is going places.”
Daisy co-writes most of her songs with a studio team, but the piano riffs and root melodies are all her own. Her management says a U.S. tour is in the works. A few more TV appearances and radio spots should solidify her place in the pop music zeitgeist, according to industry watchers.
