Kitty-Bunny Grooming

Ava (the cat) grooms Nibbles (the dutch bunny), interspersed with occasional love bites. In bunny body language Ava's grooming acknowledges that Nibbles is the alpha bunny.

Ava is a rescue cat. She was found in a Sunnyvale (CA) yard with a swollen abdomen. An x-ray showed an abdominal hernia (some sort of trauma tore the muscle of the abdominal wall and her intestines were outside the wall) with a bullet lodged just above her spine! The poor kitten had been shot (a gunshot, not a bb gun pellet) and sustained extensive bruising on her stomach that caused the hernia (she may have been kicked or hit hard in the stomach). She had surgery to repair the hernia and is the sweetest cat we've ever known despite her horrible ordeal.

I sure wish humans could get along better with each other. To see the interspecies accepting and loving each other is sooo precious, and such a great life lesson~
