I’m pleased to report that Miss Vera Bunley is adjusting very well to her new life. After spending her first few weeks exploring her new room, one night she took her first timid steps into the living room.
It must have been an intoxicating experience, because by the time she was finished she had explored the entire room including areas off the carpet, even daring to peek through the front door.
Teddy and I pay frequent visits to her room. I chaperone our visits because he likes to chase her now and then. He enjoys the powerful feeling of being in her space, playing with her toys, even drinking from her water dish instead of his.
Thanks for the update, Mike! So nice to read good news like this. Vera Bunley is really a stunner. (I’m not sure we saw Teddy’s best side today. 😉 )
At least his tail was down…
Yay for exploring. I think Miss Vera is going to be just fine.
Glad to know Vera is coming around and getting curious. I love the wide eye look of the first picture. Then in the second picture, Vera is doing the curious, stretch pose. I think with cats, they believe, “what’s yours is mine too.” Good thing most bunnies don’t mind sharing, however they can be territorial.
Of course Teddy likes drinking from Vera’s bowl and playing with her toys, with cats it’s “what’s yours is mine and what’s mine is mine” at least it’s that way with my cats.
I am soooo happy Miss Vera is settling in! I love the streeetch to see around the door. Imagine being in a cage for most of your life and now having FREEDOM!🥰
❤❤❤love hearing about your adorable ones, Mike.
Perfect story for Bunday!
I hope Ms Vera continues to explore her new cageless world and embrace it!
Miss Vera is a beauty! Yippee to her venturing out to explore with you and Teddy. Would love if we got regular updates on her adventures.
She looks small. Is Vera small? For a bunny, that is. Give her a cuddle for me when she’s comfortable with them.
She’s a dwarf breed, and she is small. She loves cuddles and pets!
Vera is adorable. I’m so glad that she feels safe enough to explore. I’m guessing for her the world has suddenly become a much bigger place, and one that is filled with interesting and fun things. And now she gets cuddles and pets in this big world!
Such great news! And such sweet photos! I never get tired of hearing about your furbabies, Mike.
Gorgeous girl. Give her some cuddles from me, please. And chin scritchies to Teddy!
Thanks for the update- glad she and Teddy are getting along pretty well. Teddy’s probably wondering why you keep bringing these weird-looking cats home. 😉
I’m gonna hide out with Miss Vera today, if you don’t mind, Mike. Hubby is having an illogical day. 2am, he couldn’t sleep, so he got up and made coffee.
Coffee. Ha. That is funny! ☕😲
What a wonderful post! So happy Ms. Vera is adjusting. 🙂 Love hearing about your furbabies Mr. Mike.
Fellow peeps, I’m again in shock and grief. Last Dec 21, 2020, I shared about having to put my precious bunny , Pepper, of 14 years to sleep. That left me with Leo, a bunny at 7-8 years of age. He was fine on Friday but Saturday, things changed quickly. At first I thought it was an intestinal blockage, which is common with bunnies. Meds, maybe an iv and good to go. He ended up at our university vet school and was kept over night. Sunday I was told he had a serious liver ailment. No promises with surgery. He was in pain, and had pain meds given. But I just couldn’t see putting Leo at his age, through an iffy surgery and decided to have him put to sleep.
Tomorrow it will hit hard because my daily animal care routine is no longer. I’ve had an animal(s) for over 26 years. 😭😭😭
Oh no! I’m so sad for what you are facing. You’ve made the most humane and decent decision, but also the most heartbreaking.
Oh, no! I’m so sorry, Luv Bunny! 💔
So very sorry. You made the right call, but that doesn’t make it any less painful.
Hugs and kitty purrs from me and mine. We’ll be holding you in our hearts.
OMG what a shock! I’m SO sorry! What a terrible decision to have to make so quickly. So hard to say goodbye. But you were able to spare him suffering.
Such terrible news! My deepest sympathy, Luv Bunny. Sending you lots of hugs…
Oh I am so sorry! I am sending you {{{hugs}}}
I know how you feel as 7 years ago I lost my 2 buns within a month of each other. You made the right decision about surgery. I couldn’t put my buns through that either at their age. Within a couple weeks I had to adopt a new bun cos I just couldn’t handle it. My heart goes out to you!
I’m so sorry 😪 Luv Bunny. It’s always hard to let them go, especially right after Pepper. Sending warm hugs.
My heart is breaking for you, Luv Bunny. I’m so sorry you had to say goodbye to Leo. I believe truly that you made the best decision for him, but that barely scratches the surface of shock and unexpected grief. Please know I am thinking of you. And if Bibi could reach you in person, she would be cuddling and kissing you to show she cares, too.
Oh Luv Bunny, I am sooo sorry. Calm and hugs to you.
It’s so hard to say goodbye and now your house and heart are empty. Take care and remember all the good times.
Thanks everyone for your kind words and virtual hugs. I’m still in disbelief and can’t stop crying. I feel okay about the decision I made. Due to this horrid Covid, it was hard having to sit in the car, while the vet clinic called me or some vet tech ran out to keep me informed. At first they weren’t going to let me be there for the end. I’m glad they let me because I wanted Leo to hear my voice and know that I didn’t desert him. When I held him and kissed him through my face mask (uugghh) and heard him doing his toofies ( that’s rabbit speak for purring like a cat), I knew, he knew it was his mommy and I was there for him. And that caused a flood of tears.
I’m so glad you got to comfort him at the end, and know that he knew it was you, and really was comforted.
Oh Luv Bunny, my heart aches for you. Doing the right thing isn’t always easy, but we know it’s the best. Leo had plenty of love from you, and he loved you, and he told you that at the end. He’ll be waiting at the Rainbow Bridge for you.
Little Duckie and I are sending you gentle feathered hugs.
Oh god Luv Bunny that is so awful. I knew what was coming when I read the first few lines and my stomach just turned over. You’ve come to the right place – we all know and share your pain. And that place over the rainbow bridge is supposed to be awesome. Take care Luv 💕💕
I’m so sorry Luv Bunny, making those decisions is awful.
I’m so sorry, Luv Bunny. 🙁 Hugs to you!
Ugh, so sorry to hear this, Luv Bunny. I know the feeling all too well, being cat-less after 24 years. After 5 months I still occasionally head down the hallway to clean the litter box. So glad you were able to be with him at the end. Hugs to you!
