Relationships
I believe I’ve figured out the proper relations with my humans.
Boy Human likes to play a lot. Sometimes I get tired of running around the house, but I fear that he’ll get restless if I don’t keep up the games. He runs back and forth between the hallway and the kitchen and I follow; sometimes he even kicks me around a bit (which I’m sure is an accident, as he doesn’t realize I’m so much faster than him and thus can catch up within seconds). I humor him. He also plays Hide and Seek with me; he’ll get down on all fours (which is clearly an unnatural position for his species as he looks incredibly uncomfortable using his knees for support, even I don’t use the middle of my legs for support!) and crawl into the kitchen, then peek his head out to see if I’m following. Don’t tell my humans, but I actually think it’s a lot of fun.
Girl Human, however, is much more calm around me. She’ll occassionally play games, but generally she sits in the middle of the living room and lets me run around in circles, lick her feet, sit in her lap, or go off on my own business. We share a lot of time together laying down on the floor thinking about life (I presume those are her thoughts, for that is what I am doing), and sometimes she’ll occupy herself with one of those yummy paper-bound things. They don’t like me to eat those, but they get excited when I am contented to be near them on the shelves. Humans are so weird!
Thus I’ve determined that Boy Human is my playmate and Girl Human is my rest mate. We all get a long much better with these roles defined. For a while Girl Human may have felt odd, as it wasn’t in her personality to jump around with me, chasing me through the house and putting on a show. I think she comes closer to appreciating my intellect, though I’m not in a position yet to reveal just how smart I am. For now, I’d like for them to think I’m just a rabbit with rabbity behaviors.
I mean, it’s not like I’m planning for world domination, but they couldn’t possibly feel good about keeping me in a cage once they realize that I’m smarter than them.
PS - Forgot to mention, since the last time I posted a blog, Girl Human has introduced spinach leaves to me. THEY ARE DELICIOUS, even better than my pellets! They’ve also significantly upgraded my housing unit; I’m grateful. I’ll post a picture some time soon.
