As I said in the ESP post I do believe rabbitscan sense our emotions. I reada few years ago in a bookcalledThe Highly Sensitive Person,that inboth the animal kingdom and among humans there is a percentage of thepopulation that is more sensitive than the rest. For example, somepeople are overwhelmed if they spend too much time socializing, becausethey process subtleties constantly. They are noticing the flowers onthe table, wondering who they're from and recalling that the vasewasn't there before. They're noticing that Joe's hair is different andfeeling queasy from the overwhelming smell of smoke, and food andperfume and uncomfortable with the amount of people in the room becauseit's just too much to process all at once. Others never notice thevase, Joe's hair or the smell of food.
The theory is that in every population there needs to be warriors whoare brave and don't hesitate and there needs to be those who arecautious and pause to think and process before going ahead, so that ifthere is danger they will be able to tell the others. The book refersto this type as "the advisor". So in all populations, even today theremust beboth types of dispositions.
All this mumbo-jumbo to say that rabbits are so sensitive by nature, Iwonder if those who are the "highly sensitive" of the bunch are theguys we consider to be the most skittish, because they would beextremely sensitive.
On another note, my little Mella is very noisy and has on a fewoccasions screamed. She doesn't do it out of physical pain. She'll justhop over and scream. It's the weirdest thing. When I posted my concernabout it here, Pamnock shared her story about her rabbits screamingwhen they heard the sound of pellets hitting a bowl (i believe that wasthe noise) The screaming Mella does is from something we don't evennotice.
Thanks for such an interesting thread Buck.
