Easily distracted.

It's good to know that we can immediately get Apollo's attention when she leaps out of her cage unexpectedly by plonking a bag full of alfalfa hay down on the ground. The siren call of leafy alfalfa will keep her little butt away from Naomi's cage long enough for us to wrangle her back into her own cage for bedtime!

Seriously, she fur missile-d herself at my face last night and it was all I could do to catch her before my ass hit the ground. Like, dude, I will bring the hay to you; you don't need to launch yourself at it!

She is so eager for food and adventure, I'm sorry but I'm laughing so hard at the image of Apollo violently launching herself at your face like a FNAF animatronic, poor you! That must have been quite the jumpscare!

Wow what a story, I can't believed she launched at you full force to get that delicious alfalfa hay, she was a hay-seeking missile coming right for you!

Hi Mónica!
Lol--I'm sure the sound I made as she did that was not at all lady-like! Thankfully she landed on my upper chest/collar bone area, though baby bunny claws are ridiculously pokey. Usually she has the good grace to just try to climb up the cage door like a ladder instead of launching herself and trying to give me a heart attack! XD

Hi Tarosagi!
I was so not expecting her to do that! If she's like this with alfalfa, what do you suppose she's going to be like when she discovers banana? I'm scared.
