Most of all, the differences in speed and agility between a polecat and a hybrid are striking, even more so between a polecat and a ferret. It's possible that pure European polecats exist in the UK but, given all the photos I've seen of supposed polecats, they must be extremely rare.

The only ferrets which might be safe with a kitten/cat are the early neutered US ferrets which have been bred for an extremely docile temperament so that most appear to have very weak hunting instincts. Apart from skin diseases (rare in both cats and ferrets), it's highly unlikely that cats would pass on any diseas
