Thus concluded Game 2 of the Bunny Bouncing Series.
That smallest bunny had figured out how to get out through the slit in
the top of the box. Needless to say, after this episode, Onyx was even
more interested in the sliding tub door and what was on the other side.
Since the bunny was getting larger Onyx had more incentive to try the
leap over the tub doors. I decided it was getting to a point where he
might chance it--possibility of water or not. I began closing the
bathroom door as well.
Although this did eliminate the "jump factor," it encouraged "door
pawing". He would stand on his hind feet and pound his paws on the door.
(When outdoors, he would do this to signal me it was time to come in.)
He learned that not only does a wood door make considerably more noise
than a glass one, it annoys "Mom" more too;-)
In memory of Onyx, ever the sleek prowler
