Winslet has a brave

[wendyzski]

I am seriously annoyed at the idiots who took and then returned Lady Winslet. Aggressive my ass! She spent most of the weekend lying in one of her favorite spots - her carpeted balcony or sprawled on the tile floor - while peering suspiciously at the open cage door. She came out for a few sniffing circuits, but bolted for the cage as soon as I came into the room.

I thought that maybe she might be cage-protective but even that isn't it. She didn't even blink when I emptied her litterbox (aside from staying as far away from me as possible).

Tonight was different though. With the assistance of some tiny bits of dried banana she came up to me, and even nosed my book looking for more. I snuck in a few pets, although she it still very dubious about those. She hopped up on the hay storage tub and stretched out on it to eye me suspiciously.

Her nails are very long and pointy - such that she clicks and slides on the tile floor. I'm going to have to do something about those pretty soon. Not looking forward to traumatizing her, but mommies have to be mean sometimes.

I thought that might actually be the problem. Sounds like she was a shy bun, and the folks who had her were the aggressors. I always hate when people assign the pet the problems coming from themselves. I love bunnies, but there is a reason I won't get one, I've always handled dogs and cats. Large dogs at that. That's what I know how to handle. I would probably terrify a bunny, completely unintentionally.

Wish there was a way to prevent people from getting pets they aren't prepared to deal with.

Kind of like me and performing - I'm so used to street performance and doing things large enough to be seen from 20 feet away. Put me on video and I look like an over-exxagerated clown, because I can't pull back to that level of subtlety.
