Skunks best known for their ability to excrete a strong, foul-smelling odor, belong to the family Mephitidae. Skunks were formerly classified as a subfamily within the family Mustelidae, which includes weasels, otters, badgers, and relatives. However, recent genetic evidence suggests that the skunks are not as closely related to the mustelids as previously thought, and are now classified in their own family.
Ferrets are in the family Mustelidaeof the order Carnivora which includes stoats, European polecats, minks, ermine, black-footed ferrets, long tailed weasels, least weasels

Most likely not. Cats are predators and skunks are known for their defensive spray when feeling threatened. It's best to keep cats away from skunks to avoid any potential conflicts or harm to the cat.
Both are in the order Carnivora but in separate families. They are not closely related.

Groundhogs and skunks are in different families. Groundhogs are in the Marmota genus, the Sciuridae family, and the Rodentia order. Skunks are in the family Mephitidae, the superfamily Musteloidea, the suborder Caniformia, and the order Carnivora. Although groundhogs and skunks are both mammals, they are only distantly related : )
every one thinks it is but it isn't. it is more related to the cat than the squiral.
