I posted back in September about a Rabbit who came to visit....
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=105&topic_id=5652184

He is still around and doing well. He has become a part of the family and is quite the stinker. He likes to tear up paper and play with empty toilet paper rolls. He will bring you his toilet paper roll and you throw it and he will go get it. I also play tug of war with him with it. He loves attention. He and one of our cats woke us up at 6 AM yesterday morning. We woke up to a loud BANG, BANG, BANG, BANG!! My wife went up front and he was stomping his feet at Abigail the cat. She was looking into his cage at his food dish and he was letting her know he did not like that.

His name is Harry. He reminds us of the rabbit in Jerry Lewis' movie "The Geisha Boy". The only thing is, he is a little aggressive and is quite amorous. We will need to have his mind changed on that front. He is trying to screw everything in the house when he is out of his cage. So he will need to have his brainwashed. We plan to get that done in the next month or so. I am still giving time in case someone still claims him. But no calls yet.

1. I remember your post
It sounds like this is a happy bunny. I didn't realize rabbits play like that. Do the cats like the rabbit?

2. They watch him.
They are still trying to figure him out. He ignores them unless he feels like they are too close. He has charged a couple of them. The other night was the first time I have heard him stomp.

29. It is depressing some times.
I can post and post, and then someone who has never been on can post and they post some off the wall thing. And that one gets 2,000,000 posts. Makes me cry.

5. I remember that guy!
Once you get him "brainwashed", he should calm down in a few months. Sounds like he is living a very good life at your house -- glad to hear it is going so well. :) That foot stomp is VERY distinctive and a sure sign that someone is pissed off!

I have four buns who live in my backyard and they are holy terrors sometimes. Very playful, sometimes demanding, and always charming. One of my cats and two of the buns LOVE to play together - they will race around the backyard, chasing and jumping over each other. One, Magic, has figured out how to get into the house through the cat door and comes to visit in my bedroom. One morning I woke to find her and my four cats on my bed -- she was on my pillow and proceeded to start licking my forehead and hair. The bunny bath lasted around 5 minutes. :D

8. Yeah I was waiting for the first time for him to stomp at the cats.
I had a french lop female that would stomp the bottom of her cage when anyone came up to it. She was very protective of her cage, she growled and stamped and charged you when she was in her cage, but when you take her out she was as docile as a lamb.

16. awesome
he is so lucky to have found a home with you. i think bunnies are some of the most discarded pets because people don't realize what work they are and they are not good with kids. I have a mini-lop that is really, really horny too, I had him neutered but he will still hump others if he is around them; his companion, who was spayed, died in August of 05 so he's a bachelor. They are great little animals if you know what to do with them. My cat actually went all dracula on my rabbit once and I caugh him just before the fangs went in so I never left them alone together after that. I saw him in the other thread, he's a cutie.

18. Well he will calm down some.
He is happy, he does is jumps in the air when we let him out. He runs like crazy, those are two signs he is content and happy.

23. Well good for you and Harry!
They really are a lot of fun. My husband and I raise rabbits for pets, but also for meat (sorry if that offends anyone) and we thoroughly enjoy them. They make terrific pets and they all have such unique personalities.

They are a lot of fun. He is a blast to watch when he does his happy dance in the kitchen.

31. we have a little Neterland Dwarf (Maizy)..
who lives in the house and she loves to hop around our kitchen and dining room. I love the "happy hop". There's nothing cuter than watching the rabbit version of "Yippee!"
