Wow, that's an amazing story about Ferb! I haven't heard of Phineas and Ferb ... my two boys are 4 years old but haven't gotten into that one yet.
I'm not ashamed to admit, I was watching it when my daughter was too young to care. Same with Adventure Time!
As for the cat Ferb, it's not the first time he got out. We used to live on a farm and had three stray cats we rescued, Ferb and Stan Shortly (my daughter is awesome at naming animals) were feral kittens. Inside, they're the most loving and affectionate cats you can imagine. If they get out, though, they instantly revert to their feral nature, and it's almost impossible to get close to them. Until they haven't eaten for a while, that is.
When we moved six months ago, I didn't realize a window screen was loose in the new house until I saw the two cats wandering around outside. I kept seeing Stan Shortly once in a while, but never Ferb. It took Stan Shortly a couple months to get hungry enough for her to get close enough to grab, but Ferb never showed up. A week ago, we started getting glimpses of him. Finally, on Saturday he came close enough to grab him. He clawed the hell out of my hand, but I got him inside, got him a flea treatment, and checked him for worms before releasing him into gen pop. Within an hour, he was in my lap, purring like crazy, like he had never left. My daughter was at her mom's for the weekend and was in tears when I called her to tell her about it.
