Peas On The Moon

For the past week we have had a rabbit. He is not a permanent resident, I'm merely taking care of him for a friend. Bindy and I go way back, but this is the first time he's come to stay at my place. It's been a very interesting week at the apt. Bindy had been pretty well behaved, don't get me wrong, but it's been very entertaining watching him interact with Thomas. I could sit and watch them all day. Thomas had never met a rabbit before Bindy. The first time he saw the rabbit he "poofed" (aka his fur stood on end all over). It took him about 20 minutes to return to normal size, brave kitty.

The first night Bindy was with us Thomas spent the evening outside his cage watching him like a t.v set.

Since then they have both been loose in the apartment. For the first few days Thomas watched Bindy intently from a distance. Lately he's become more comfortable and started "chasing" the rabbit (aka he runs after Bindy when Bindy runs but does not know what to do when Bindy stops and just sits there). Bindy is indifferent and does not play back. Thomas will "tag" Bindy like he does with us by tapping us with his paw, but Bindy does not understand this game. Thus, Thomas is left to play his games on-sided. It's rather sad to watch.

When Bindy is not in his cage thomas will gingerly step in and sniff around in this mysterious creatures dwelling (cage). He's tasted his water and smelled his food. He will watch with interest when Bindy is eating, and seems fascinated by the long ears. It's the first thing he tried to touch.

Tomorrow Bindy will go home, i wonder if Thomas will be sad.
