IT'S BUNNYLAND AT CAT TV

We are sitting outside at Cat TV, minding our own business, just like always.  Cat TV is my friend's patio, where she has strategically placed a bird feeding station close to her sliding glass door.  Close enough for her indoor cats to watch the birds' feeding frenzies, but far enough contained for her indoor cats to be unable to disturb the birds' feeding frenzies.

It's a wonderful evening, a bit chilly even, so we pack it in after an hour.  We could build a fire in the pit, but that would require energy, and both of us have expended three day's worth of reserve strength today.  This leads us to abandon our stations at the patio table and come back inside.

When we do this, a strange phenomenon takes over the yard.  It becomes Bunnyland.  All of a sudden, a half dozen wild bunnies come running across the grass, and by running, I mean tear-assing like escaped mental patients on trampolines.  They chase each other, play Tag with each other, and jump like kangaroos over each other.

It is, to be completely honest, frigging hilarious.  It's also fascinating to watch.  My friend and I cannot take our eyes of these little furry acrobats. 

The show goes on for about ten minutes.  We are completely sober, which probably makes this even funnier.  Had we been sipping Sangria with alcohol in it, we might think this scene is completely normal.  "Oh look, here comes Cirque de Rabbit.  I didn't know we'd gotten tickets again this year..." 

As we stare through the glass doors at the crazy shenanigans, we have become one with the cats.  We are now witnessing what they witness every day.  Maybe this isn't Cat TV after all.  Maybe it's Nature TV and we've just been selling it short.

Nah.  We never sell Cat TV short.  We understand how great Cat TV is.  We just didn't realize the birds weren't the best part of the entertainment.
