Dear George,
With Easter fast approaching I have a very
simple question: why do bunnies get all the attention at Easter time? Why are
they called “The Easter Bunnies”?
They are not Easter gifts and, definitely
they shouldn’t be! They require a lot more attention than us - they are needy
…we are independent!
I know from my experience that humans can be very silly and dress us up for Christmas but never for Easter.
Why is that? Do they purr when happy? Do they train their humans helping them evolved to a higher level? I don’t think so – I’ve never seen a bunny training a human! And yet, I’ve just heard mine saying: Oh! I LOVE a “Binky Bunny”

WHAT on Earth is a binky bunny? I sure hope
I won’t get company for Easter!
George, why the fuss about bunnies?
Happy Easter to all cats and their humble servants

Dear Foxy,
This Easter thing confuses me too. I love bunnies....to hunt and eat. Yet there is this whole human thing whereby they do rabbit models in chocolate and eat those instead. And they pretend that rabbits lay Easter eggs (also chocolate). Really, these humans are odd.
Do rabbits train humans? I don't think they can: too busy eating hay, swallowing their caecotrophs from their bottoms, and trying to get out of those horrible little hutches they live in. Rabbits are fast food not just for cats but foxes, coyotes, stoats and even weasels. If they didn't taste so good, I would be sorry for them.
My human has a completely different attitude. She hangs out on the local common trying to photograph or video them here. Binkying happens when a rabbit literally jumps for joy. She didn't manage to catch that and the camera jumps when she is stung by yet another horsefly. If I'd been there I wouldn't have been videoing. I would have been stalking them.
Happy Easter. Don't be tempted by chocolate. It's poisonous for cat.
Yours
George.
PS. Some humans do dress up. Here is one. Stupid human. I wouldn't let anybody dress me up as a rabbit. Too humiliating.

Nice little video with the wild rabbits Celia! Thanks for sharing it! Yes, definitely different from what we know as a lonely, depressed bunny in a cage!
ReplyDeleteFoxy, you are very cute; definitely looking perfectly capable to training humans :-)
Happy Easter!

I once had a stuffed bunny named Mimtzi (after a movie my mummy loved). It was cute!
ReplyDeleteYes, I prefer a little live bunny! I like the one in the video but they look huuuuge!
Happy Easter to all cats & their human families

Bunnies might taste good but I know I'm getting roasted lamb this Easter (Greek family visiting) :-) Sometimes I think I like Easter better than Christmas!
ReplyDeleteHappy Easter to all!
