Okay, despite the stories of luny Brits, we have pretty much decided to get a ferret. After all, they're great for keeping rodents out of the camp.
It will be a male, probably the standard tan with mask.
But we're not sure what to name it yet, so suggestions are welcome.
IF we select your suggestion, you will get a (booby)prize! Big Grin

When it's behaving and all cute and cuddly; Marcus Arelius.

When it's hanging from your finger with a bite that industrial hydraulics can't open; Caligula.

No, you silly Brit. Despite your national traditions, we are NOT stuffing the ferret anywhere.

If I recall correctly, the Latin term felis that we translate as "cat" began life meaning "ferret."

I would suggest Tarquin, or maybe Igni Ferretque.
