Rabbit at the Coffee Shop.

[LillFilly]

I was bringing one of the 2-month old rabbits out for socializing, and stopped to get coffee. This shop always had tables outside, where I was going to sit with her. But they must have gotten rid of them in the last week, so I tied baby rabbit to the closest bench, near a yogurt shop. Got my coffee while peeking-out at baby rabbit sitting watching people. Come out and baby rabbit has a crowd around her asking "is it a .... cat?" "I dunno." "Did someone just abandon it?" (Yes, because people dump rabbits wearing harnesses and leashes all the time!) I called her name and then we had baby rabbit fan club / Q&A time with a half-dozen kids asking their parents for pet rabbits Why is it people seem so surprised to see a plain black rabbit? I think the Rex and Dutch Rabbits get all the notice, because people like pretty patterns and light colors. Baby rabbit did great letting everyone pet her. Pretty sure it's a her now. I think. maybe.

"Is it a cat?" That reminds me of the Friends where Rachel got a hairless cat, and Joey kept saying, "It's not a cat."

Oooh! Black rabbits are so cute! Got a recent pic?

[Lachrymose]

In all fairness, this isn't a situation one would tend to see on a regular basis.

(Although "is it a cat" is a little..out there. )

Here they are; I can't tell them apart in the photos, but it was one of the 2-black ones, who are the daughters of the silver one. Wearing a teal harness with a red leash.



Here you can see one has gotten bigger than mom! And I think it's mooning the camera...

Naughty bunny (the one mooning the camera)

Now I wanna see a bunny on a harness in public

They are adorable!

My sister has a sort of pet stroller thingie that she can take the bunnies out for a ride in. Now that the weather's nice, we'll have to take 'em out...we call it "airing out the bunnies."

Why is it people seem so surprised to see a plain black rabbit? .

Plain black rabbits may be fairly common. But plain black rabbits in teal harnesses & red leashes, tied up at your local coffee shop? Not so much.

Damn, I should bring my rabbit out instead of my dogs. Sterling gets the attention cause he is colored differently than most doxies.
