It’s like your bunny learned to hop by watching a cat stretch every morning.
How it works
Signs are like messages that your bunny can read, but not with eyes, with smells and touches. A cat has special ways of moving and touching things, so when your bunny was around a lot, it picked up those clues. Now, when you touch something the same way the cat would, your bunny knows what’s coming next, like how you say “treat time” before snacks.
Why it's fun
Imagine learning to count by watching your brother eat cereal every day, that’s kind of what happened! Your bunny saw the cat do things over and over, so now it can guess what will happen just by seeing or feeling something familiar.
It’s like having a secret language with your bunny, one you both learned without even trying!
