Only if it’s a killer rabbit. **MRW** was likely pelted by a cecotrope. ---

I have had experience with exactly two bunnies in my life. One was a very pretty small black bunny that a guy I used to go out with was petsitting one night. It was loping freely about the room, so when it hopped up to me I said something like, “Hello, bunny–” and reached down to scratch its ears … “(\*%@#&!!!) OUCH!” Little bugger drew blood; then proceeded to run away from my vengeful self as fast as only bunnies can. And I couldn’t lull it into a sense of false security by pretending not to be mad for ten minutes, either. That was twenty years ago, and I STILL want to bite that bunny back. The other experience was a friend’s kids’ bunny, who, when I stayed in one of the kids’ room overnight while they were away, tried to hump my head… All. Night. Long. I don’t like bunnies much. ---

Are you sure you have a bunny? Sounds more like a camel, or possibly a llama. Does it have a hump and get all obnoxious on Wednesdays? ---

Perhaps the rabbit was a Lectroid. It would explain the OP’s disappearance. ---

Sorry folks I am on the other side of the planet (to most of you anyway)and stuff like sleep and work has to happen and I am easily distrac ooooo shiny… It also doesn’t help if said bunny tries to fake a bunny illness and stress me out for several hours overnight. Bunnies can go from slightly off to stone dead real quick so I wasn’t mucking around. I too did not know that bunnies could spit - I swear I heard a ptoooey sound (though on further thought it is possible that the offending object was just flung at me rather than spat but it was still unprecedented). And what was it you ask - well I did go looking for it because even the briefest touch gave me the squicks and I did not intend to leave that nasty little glob of whatever around for me to step on later. It was a snail. A very very mangled sa nail. Ick ick ick About the size of a marble and must have snuck in on Her Majesty’s dinner. Now I have in the past seen her carefully pick caterpillars out of her food and drop them on the carpet so she obviously does not enjoy sharing her dinner. First time she has spat/flung something at me like that though. Later I started wondering how much of the mangling was done by bunny teeth, and if snails were poisonous or god help me had eaten a snail pellet - and then she looked a bit off and I spent some quality time listening to tummy sound and checking poop and offering food and blah blah blah. Then I went to be and completely forgot about this. So I offer my apologies. ---

Do know how my little darling thanked me for all my conscientious care - she peed on me. Twice. Oh and I checked her dinner VERY carefully tonight ---
