Answer: "My name is Korri Hendrix and I am 9, about your question I would like to have a ferret. Because my friend Megan has one and he likes me! And when I held him he tried to eat my bookbag strap! And now I know that cats and ferrets DON'T get along and when my 2 year old sister saw him she said that he was cute! And I also have a BIG brother a little brother and a mom and a dad, and a 14 year old sister. And if I had a ferret I would have to put it in a cage because I have a cat! And I would clean his cage, feed him and walk him every day after school."
