If you're not in the know, ferrets, polecats, and weasels in the wild have a distraction technique known as the Weasel War Dance that basically enraptures their prey to keep them still and confused enough they don't realize the noodly pred is getting closer before getting jumped!
Muffin is especially good at this technique, as you can see. Don't ask him to do it though, he's mighty embarrassed to do it in front of people who aren't immediately softening in his belly afterwards
