How has your cat reacted to ferrets, over time and to current. What did you do to introduce and help the relationships?
I'm the owner of 3 ferrets and a rescued cat I've raised and cared for since a few days old to years and would love to just hear your stories/experience with similar issues that may have happened bringing ferrets into your home.
My cat gets annoyed by them and can deal with them, but shes been improving over a long period of time. My youngest ferret is very interested by her and just stares at her. The older and eldest just don't care anymore. I just do whatever keeps them both happy.

I've had ferrets for a long time, and the cats have always done fine with them. They weren't always best friends but they at least tolerated each other. Make sure the cat has a high place to get away from an annoying weezel, and make sure the ferret has a small space to get away from an annoying cat, and they should do just fine.
