==Tameability== Ringtail are said to be easily tamed / [[habituation|habituated to humans]], and can make an affectionate pet and effective mouser. Miners and settlers once kept pet ringtails to keep their cabins free of vermin; hence, the common name of "miner's cat".<ref>{{cite book |first=Lowell |last=Sumner |year=1953 |section=Ringtails in Redwood Park |title=Birds and Mammals of the Sierra Nevada: Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks |publisher=University of California Press |page=306}}</ref><ref>{{cite book |last=Reid |first=F.A. |year=2006 |title=Peterson Field Guide to Mammals of North America |edition=4th |pages=454β455 |location=New York, NY |publisher=Houghton Mifflin}}</ref>
