Hi, Interesting case. I would make sure you keep a close eye on the two of them if the kitten is really young. I would hate to see any real harm come to her. Does the ferret bite people? Biting other animals is a form of play. It may also be she is trying to be an alpha over someone, anyone. In this case you have the little kitty taking the bum rap. You can try sitting the three of you in a closed space. Like a bathroom or something. Each time the ferret is nice reward it with some kind of treat. When she gets too rough scuff her, hiss and tell her NO. You have to be Alpha. This is going to take some time and you will have to keep it up for a while. As much as I love ferrets they just are not fast learners. Is the ferret a free roamer? If not you might just keep the kitten put away while the ferret is out for play time. Untill the kitten gets big enough to put up a fight of it's own. Best of luck and God Bless. The world needs more people like you
