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!

Ferret Unemployment Hits Record High

New figures from the Department of Labor find that 100% of ferrets are now unemployed in the U.S. What’s more, none of them are actively seeking a job.

Ferrets Have Trouble Finding Jeans that Fit, Too

We’ve heard numerous reports that cats have a terrible time finding good-fitting jeans. But according to a new study from the Animal Tailors Federation, it is actually ferrets that currently rank highest in dissatisfaction among animals when it comes to finding properly fitting pants.  

“Their long, slender bodies are just really hard to design for,” said seamstress Alison Perkins, whose clothing alteration business in Brooklyn, NY has seen its ferret clientele triple over the past year.  "Custom tailored is really the only way to go.  Unfortunately, that’s cost prohibitive for most ferrets, so they end up buying brand name and coming to someone like me for alterations.“
