What does a cat do when it's cornered by a rabbit?

This is what:



Usually the cat runs away, but the doors were closed and he had no where to go.

I knew it wasn't right.

I picked up Gerald's medicine last Friday. When I went to give it to him that night I thought it didn't look right. I brought it back to the vet Tuesday night and sure enough "the girl that prepared it didn't mix it." He has been on it for such a long time that I know what it looks like. So I got new medicine and my money back and lots of apologies.

Gerald doesn't like the medicine so I mush up some fruit and mix the medicine in it, which he loves. This is strawberry mush.....
Here is Gerald tonight, still with the ooze coming from his eye. Which used to go away after a few weeks of medicine, now it's not.
Clint ALWAYS has to have his butt in that corner while eating.

Volunteering

For the last 2 Saturdays, and many more to come, hubby and I have been spending a few hours at the local Humane Society working with some dogs that were rescued from a puppy mill. About 400 dogs were rescued, they are at various shelters and foster homes. They were in pretty bad shape; some were debarked. Many need dental care, which they can't get until the judge decides that they no longer belong to the horrid owners. They are all small dogs, many don't know how to play or just be dogs. We just hang out with them, it's a good time, even with the scared ones. Not one dog has shown any aggression at all.
This little gal is pregnant. Vet says she will have 5 pups and is due any day now. She was on the front cover of the local paper recently. She doesn't like to be petted, but likes to hold her toy and wags her tail like crazy when you talk to her.

Tis the season for sheding.

Clint started molting about 2 weeks ago, Gerald and Cinnamon last week. Bambi has yet to start. I have read that rabbits molt depending on the amount of daylight they get, not the temperature.

Here is Gerald eating dinner on the 2nd level of the rabbitat. They love going into the boxes. Gerald is still sick. He has been sick off and on all last year, and pretty much on since December. I picked up more medicine for him today, but I think we will need to do something else.
Bams and Cinnamon look quite comfy in the house, don't they?

I changed my mind, I think.

Maybe Bams (aka Bambi or Bam Bam), and Cinnamon will stay in. They have calmed down a bit and are less destructive. They have been moved from the bathroom to the guest bedroom and seem to enjoy it. I have given Bambi a digging box, but have only seen her use it once. I have put up barriers and made sure the apple tree twigs are in the living room, to try to distract her from eating the TV stand (why doesn't she chew on the OLD furniture that we don't care about??!!). They even enjoy playing in the cat tent.

Rabbits like to climb

Did you know that? I didn't. Bambi and Cinnamon LOVE climbing on the couch; they also like to lick it. They also like to chew baseboards and pull the carpet with their teeth. I am not able to rabbit proof any more, I have no more energy to watch them every night, so in the spring they will go back out into the rabbitat. It's mostly Bambi, she wants to destroy everything in sight.
