This is a very pampered cat and perhaps an even more pampered group of five very active but completely domesticated ferrets. And the caregiver loves them all. She treats her ferrets like royalty, takes them out on walks on a lead and allows them to play vigorously with her cat who leads them around the house as if they were his servants. The cat is very tolerant when they surround him and play but no doubt, they have grown up together and become very familiar with each other and so there is no fear but just friendliness.
I have set the video to start where the ferrets interact with the cat. You can adjust it if you want and go back to the beginning obviously.
Interspecies relationships are always interesting. Of course, the greatest interspecies relationship of all is the human-to-cat relationship and the same would apply to the equally popular, perhaps even more popular, human-to-dog relationship. It's useful to remind ourselves that these are interspecies friendships.
They very rarely happen in the wild. Interspecies relationships and friendships are really the domain of domestic animals.
Here the cat is the leader followed by his 'servants'.
The above are screenshots from the video.
