Every morning, one, two or three ferrets appear in the kitchen while I'm preparing or eating breakfast, all in order to get something to eat. Usually this means a piece of the slices sausage I'm putting on my sandwiches.

But not Carmen. I offer it to her, but she doesn't want any, but prefer a small piece of raisin instead.

During the weeks I only had Natasja and Carmen living with me, I did find one type of sausage she did like and even tried to steal off of my sandwiches. But since then, I've not been able to remember which sort it was. Several times, I have thought I had found the correct sort, but it's all been false alarms.

Probably, it's not the sausage that's the problem, but something else.
