The Tabby Stayed Very Still So the Bunny Could Nap on Her Belly

AI imagetabby catlop-eared bunnynap

A grey tabby with bright green-yellow eyes lies stretched out on her back on a rumpled blanket, looking straight ahead with a calm, slightly regal expression. Draped across her tummy, a small grey lop-eared bunny lies with her ears flopped down and eyes closed, fast asleep. A basket of slippers, a pair of jeans, and a sunlit white wall make up the cozy room behind them.

Cats are known for loving warm, soft places, and a belly full of purring warmth is about as soft as it gets. Not every cat enjoys being touched on her belly, though, and for many cats an exposed tummy is not an invitation. A relaxed cat who allows a friend on her belly is showing great trust. Rabbits also look for warmth and comfort, and the two can become close. Still, supervise any cat and rabbit together. Make sure the cat's claws are trimmed and keep the bunny from any sudden movements. If you have worries about their behavior, your vet or a trained animal behaviorist can help.

The tabby's expression says it all. She is awake and alert, clearly aware of her special passenger, and she is not about to disturb her. Her gaze has the quiet pride of a cat who has been chosen as a pillow. The bunny sleeps on, perfectly sure that she is in the safest place in the world.
