SOFA BUNNY

cimoreneTrace evidence* proves that just now when we were walking to the store a bunny (Chief Inspector Japp, because Rowan was in the other room) was napping on the sofa in our absence!
This is probably a habit of his.
We know he can jump up onto the sofa, but he rarely chooses to do that while we're here - he'll sort of hop up and visit us cheekily and then sort of joyfully binky away sometimes, and when placed on the sofa he will sometimes choose to remain a while and hang out after being petted or groomed, but he doesn't come to the sofa and seek out chill time there when we're here.
So this is super adorable, and I have to conjecture he's snoozing there and listening for the slightest noise to indicate we're coming back so he can jump down and run away.
* Bunnies produce two kinds of poop, regular dry pellets that have no odor which they manufacture constantly and leave either in litter boxes or to mark their territory, and cecals, which they produce basically only while they're sleeping and which they're supposed to eat. It's a more complicated digestive process. Usually they only do that in the middle of the night, but in captivity and with electric lights their circacian rhythms aren't entirely natural. The culprit left behind a single cecal, which he presumably didn't notice.
