Very Like a Rabbit.

Lagomorphs
Prey animals
Eyes on the side,
they see danger coming from any direction
Cautious, intelligent
Genetically wired to escape,
to survive,
to show no illness or weakness
Nocturnally active
Creatures of habit

Place them in a safe home,
a burrow, security, shelter
And they melt with love
Bonding
Staying close
Relaxing into you
Revealing their individuality
Affectionate
Dance around you when excited
Curl up with you just to pass time

All as I am.
