Rabbits

Something really upset the rabbits this morning. Smack, smack, smack; It's amazing how much noise they make when they  stamp their little back feet. Ailz went down to investigate and found the big one in hiding and the little chap in the middle of the floor, all but in a trance. I haven't a clue what happened. Maybe they were quarreling, maybe a cat looked in through the window, maybe they saw a ghost...

Gerbils drum their hind feet to warn of danger too. Once Pin thumped inside the cage and Chip, who was running around on my lap, obeyed his instinct to seek cover - inside my dressing-gown.

Sometimes when the little rabbit is exploring upstairs the big rabbit (who never leaves the ground floor) will thump to summon him back.

You know, I've never read that book.

I've seen the film, though.

I bet it was a cat looking in.

Poor things--wonder what happened? Maybe they had a little fight.
