Nope.
I've heard they are somewhat similar to cats when it comes to their general attitude and interaction with people.
It's an interesting thing to research into on google or something, just to see what it's like. I myself wouldn't do it though. They'd obviously need special needs due to the fact that you don't see "skunk food" or "skunk treats" on the petstore shelves. You'd also have to find a vet that knows how to treat it. I believe in the area I live in, you also need a license to own a skunk.
I don't like the whole idea of "de-odorizing" the skunk; surgery to remove the gland that produces that skunk smell. It's like removing a cats claws: that is that animals natural defense. You shouldn't take that away from them. So what am I saying? It's best to leave these animals in the wild and admire them from a distance.

No, but I heard from an old game warden that there is a way to de-scent them and that they do make fair pets.

Nope... nor have I ever known anyone who has.. Hm. I don't think I would want one, just because of the whole spray-smell thing. They are kind of cute though... from a distance :P
