Bunny vs cat
3 Dec 2015 03:31 pmThe bunnies have been settling in since last Saturday, exploring the livingroom around their cage during the day (Chief Inspector Japp is the more adventurous and has ventured about 6" through the kitchen doorway a few times, but then he changes his mind and runs back) and sleeping on the balcony to help them gradually get used to living inside, instead of in a barn (angora is very warm on a bunny as well as when knitted up into fluffy garments for a person, so I gather they would be really hot if required to just make the switch all at once and for all).

There haven't been any fights, but the BB has hissed a couple of times and both cats have sniffed noses with the bunnies, who are basically unconcerned. The cats are curious enough to sneak up to the cage and/or to a free range bunny, but they still seem spooked by movement. Yesterday was the first time Snookums would go to sleep on my lap while in the same room as the bunny cage. The BB is remaining more distant from the bunnies themselves, but she's also got a spine of steel and nothing can stop her from being on a person's lap when she decides she's going to be, including bunny noises at the other end of the room.
Japp's hobbies are running and exploring and Rowan's habits are basically... eating and lying on her belly, which is probably why she seems to be almost half again as big as him already.
