Rabbits and Cats Discuss the Seasons

"Ah, my tingling whiskers tell me that Spring is afoot!"

Blueberry is right! Spring is on the way. Only a few more days until Spring is Officially Here. Here in the Rabbit Room, we like to think of Spring as Rabbit Season.

RABBIT SEASON!!!!

What could be better?

Toby, the mini-cat (who really isn't so mini anymore as some people have very rightfully pointed out) would like to think that Cat Season is better.

I know. Better than Rabbit Season? Well, he's a baby. Cut him some slack.

"When is the Official Cat Season?" he asked Blueberry and Zoe yesterday as he climbed his way over the Rabbit Gate to curl up in the Rabbit Toys and pretend to blend in (side note: video of Toby the mini-cat climbing in and out of the Rabbit Room to come soon!).

Blueberry moved her whiskers from side to side quickly.

"Cat Season??" She said aloud with a laugh. "That's preposterous! There's no such thing as Cat Season!" She turned to Zoe for confirmation.

"HA! Cat Season?? Those aren't words!"

OK, well, I guess you heard it-- right from the Rabbit's Mouth!

Sorry, Mini-Cat. You are cute, though, and that is some consolation. Every Season is Cute Season!

Zoe also wants you to know that the Winner of the Eat Like Rabbit Contest will be announced on Wednesday!! So stay tuned for that. We were waiting for one last entry, if you recall, but that didn't work out, which is too bad, because it was a Very Good Entry.

Our apologies to Stevie, the Guinea Pig, who couldn't enter due to Technical Difficulties.

(Well, at least it wasn't due to steroid use!!!)

Have a wonderful Monday!!!

Flip Friday

The MiniCat is glad it's Friday!

YAY, FRIDAY!

Zoe and I are glad you're here, too, Friday. It means it's time for a Rabbit Movie, and it also means it's time for the weekend.

We have had yet a third entry to the Eat Like a Rabbit contest!! That entry will be the subject of Monday's post. When I emailed Official Judge and Contest Idea Creator, Emma to tell her there was another entry, she emailed back to say, "This contest is ON FIRE!!!"

So true. Miss Zoe likes that you are on fire to eat like a Rabbit. She especially likes, even if you don't submit a video or picture to the contest, that you enjoy watching Her eat like a Rabbit.

You do, don't you?

Yes, of course you do.

You have one more week to submit your entries. At first, we set the judging on Zoe's Birthday, March 5th, but now we are thinking that perhaps giving everyone a wee bit more time would behoove us.

(Not that Zoe has hooves, mind you. But She likes to be behooved. Who doesn't?)

And so, please feel free to submit up to and including next Friday, March 5th, Miss Zoe's Birthday (She wants to make sure you saw the part about Her Birthday).

Now on to the Rabbit Movie.

I fear that this movie is like an old 80s action movie we watched at some point in the not too distant past in which, when a certain scene was over, the Chick turned to me and said, "Well, THAT scene should have been cut!" It was some long, drawn out underwater something. A chase maybe? I don't know. I tuned out. The point was, it didn't move the plot along, but in the 80s, when it was filmed it was probably cutting edge filming. In the 2000's, it was just too long and kind of stupid.

Now, I'm not saying by ANY MEANS that today's Rabbit Movie is stupid!!! Good grief. Perish the thought.

All, I'm saying is that I'm not sure there's a lot of plot. But Miss Zoe wanted to try some new things, and there was a song She wanted to use, and well, you can see where this is going. Years later, when we rewatch it, Miss Zoe will look at me and yell, "Well THAT scene should have been cut!!"

You see what you think. Perhaps Her Great Beauty will enthrall you to the point at which the plot is moot? Perhaps.

Happy Bunny Redux!

I told you last week that Zoe was happy.

On Monday, she was Not Happy.

Let us revisit that Unhappiness. In case you didn't get enough the first time.


Have you had enough?


Cry "UNCLE!!!!" Pleeeeeeeaaaaaaaaase!!!!

Good Work!!! You did it. She is onto Something Else.

Now, it is safe to talk. :)

Zoe is Happy today, because we got another entry in our Eat Like a Rabbit Contest!!!

Because She now has two entries, it means it is Officially.... A CONTEST!

Here's this week's submission from Debra!!! See Debra's Blog Here!!!

Beginning to eat....

Ten Seconds in.....

AND SHE WINS THE GOLD!!!!!

An inventive and creative entry! Thanks Debra!

Good luck in that Canadian traffic, by the way. My Aunt and Uncle live in Vancouver, but they went to California for the month to avoid the crowds. We hope you're enjoying yourself.

Zoe and I love your mittens!

And of course we LOVE your Bunny Ears. Strange that you just had those...lying around...isn't it?

Notice how both entries have employed different but extremely satisfying Bunny Ears.

OK, who's next?

Tap tap tap.

We're waiting.

Flip Friday

It's time again for a Rabbit Movie.

This week, Zoe wanted to make a movie that shows you some tips about Her eating. You know, in case you ever want to eat like a Rabbit for some reason, and you need to know.

This is a Do It Yourself kind of video.

She would like you to pay special attention to the following while you watch the movie today:

1. Her rapid chewing (it is well-suited to a punk song beat);

2. Her body posture;

3. The way She uses Her ears (up down, turning them this way and that);

4. The Great Beauty She possesses (though that's really nothing you can compete with necessarily).

Zoe would also like to point out the cuteness of her Body Spots. That's just an aside, really. She just really likes Her Spots.

I was going to tell you about The Great Fat Tuesday Donut Making Extravaganza that happened here during the week this week, but Zoe discouraged that in order to keep Her Rabbit Movie lessons foremost in your mind. Zoe and I are going to be doing a bit of baking today in preparation for an evening soiree, so, next week, we will post the baking pictures all at once, perhaps even with recipes.

So that's up next week, along with a sneak peek at the art we have in the works right now!! We are very excited about that, but we haven't felt ready to share yet...

OK, so on to the movie. Zoe calls this movie "Rabbit also eat..." to remind you that sometimes Rabbits eat Rabbit Crunch besides eating salads and hay and stuff.

She's just sayin'.

A Very Happy Bunny

Look at the Smile on this Rabbit!!

Miss Zoe is Very Happy this morning!

Oh, wait. What?

You want to know why?

Why what?

OOOOHHHHH!!!! You want to know why Miss Zoe is Happy?

OK, here, she will show you why.

Click Here!!!

Can you see the Happiness emanating
from This Very Bunny???

Now you know what you need to do!!

Our sincerest thanks to the Great and All Powerful Kavindra, who has forged the way for you and Hundreds of Others to enter Zoe's Eat Like a Rabbit Contest!!

A note to readers: This entry shows some real gumption in its willingness to eat paper lettuce. Zoe encourages you to eat actual lettuce if at all possible. She, herself, would never eat paper lettuce even in the worst storm, as She has human minions to ferry her such things from the Whole Foods Coop. But She authorizes you to do Whatever It Takes to Win in this potentially Cut Throat Contest. And, She would like to say that She admires Kavindra's ingenuity and creativity in a dire situation in which she was OUT OF LETTUCE!!!!!

At any rate, this was a great show put forth by Kavindra. The added benefit is that you now also know what her Wild, Angry Rabbit face looks like. You know, in case you're up against her in some sort of eating competition in the future. If I saw her begin to make that Wild Rabbit Face, it would make me think twice about taking her lettuce! That is fierce!!!

Of course Zoe would just take it.

(Sorry, Kavindra, but I don't think you'd even put up a half-hearted fight in the presence of the Actual Miss Zoe.)

So, now, let's see some more entries!! You do want to see Miss Zoe keep smiling, don't you?

Well, yes. I thought so.

Have a great Monday!

Flip Friday: The Contest!!

SO, we all know how much you love Flip Friday.

Really. Zoe and I are aware of Her X-treme Popularity.

We'd like YOU to get in on the Cinematic Action!!

This idea came from Friend, Reader, and Dedicated Rabbit Lover, Emma.

Emma said, one day in an email to me, "Why don't you have a contest? You know, an Eat Like A Rabbit Contest. Have people send in videos of themselves eating their salad like Rabbits. It will be a contest. The winner will get an autographed picture of Miss Zoe!"

Well, it was something like that. I put it in quotes, but it was sort of a paraphrase. Sorry to all those fellow English teachers in the audience.

Zoe was pretty darn excited about this idea. She suggested adding pictures to the mix, too, though. "Not everyone has a video camera or can easily or quickly make a video," she said.

We are therefore, splitting the Contest into a Video Contest and a Photo Contest.

Here's the Rules:

1. Make a video or take a picture of
Yourself or Someone you Love
Eating a Salad Like a Rabbit!!!

(Remember that Eating like a Rabbit entails using no utensils or hands).

2. Post your Eating Like a Rabbit Photo or Video
to your blog, link back to this Contest,
and let me know that you've posted
by leaving Zoe a comment here.

OR IF
YOU DON'T
HAVE A BLOG
(Which Miss Zoe Can't Understand,
since She feels so obligated to have
one for Her fans.)

3. Email your Eating Like a Rabbit Photo or Video
to Zoe and me at
zoejobie (at) gmail (dot) com

Judging will be done by Emma, whose Big, Crazy Brain this idea came from (thanks for agreeing to be a judge, Emma. You did agree right? Whew!) and MISS ZOE!!!!

The Winners will be announced on March 5, 2010-- on Miss Zoe's Birthday!!

Now for inspiration. Watch closely!! Then, do it yourself! Gather your friends!! Or, make your kids do it. What else are children for, after all?

OK.....GO!!!!
