When visitors come for the first time and see me flopping out in front of the television they say things like," Oh look, there's a rabbit." That's what I am so it's ok but what were they expecting? An aardvark? Or they ask, "Where's his hutch?" Another non-starter. After spending some time under the table with me another family friend announced, "He's a Cog!" He'd noticed, very cleverly for a human, that rabbits clean themselves like cats and are hospitable like dogs but that's where it ends. I am vegetarian so I don't smell the way dogs do and I can't be sick all over the place like cats. Rabbits don't do sick nor leave messes all over lawns for humans to pick up. Pretty perfect eh?
A lot of care should be taken when choosing a name for a house bunny. Buster is quite manly I think And Fred. On the whole people who have house rabbits are sensible. If you look through any RWA magazine you will see what I mean. You can find out all about it by putting www. Rabbit Welfare Association into your machine.
If I become even more famous I might change my name to Napoleon or Nelson. Either one would suit my personality perfectly.
By the way, something new has been stuck on the wall beside my food bowls. I think it says "Home Sweet Home." That's nice.
Why all the fuss about a name all of a sudden? He only answers to a call if it suits him or if there might be something food related in the offing. Otherwise he uses the back turning trick.
