  After I wake up and check up on little ChaCha downstairs, I peer into her mini maze haven, where she LOVES to sleep .. and she is in her ‘cottonball’ position, hiding her limbs and relaxing/sleeping.
  
  I say “Good morning ChaCha.” Sometimes I put my hand in there and pet her little head.
  
  She sees me and either stays in the maze or comes out.
  
  For the first time this morning, she comes out and foot flicks me I hear that is equal to the middle finger, BUNNY LANGUAGE
  
  I try to pet her, but she doesn’t stay, so I sit back and let her hop around and chew on cardboard.
  
  After I am there for a while, she makes her little ‘mm, mm’ noise as she hops around me. BUT SHE STILL FOOT FLICKS every now and then
  
  What in the world? LOL!!!
  
  I just got her spayed last Thursday.. I don’t know what to think

  The circling and honking means she looooves you! It’s the bunny mating dance 😉

  I also get it for “Haha – can’t catch me” , a bit of a naughty feisty dance.

  I’m not convinced that foot flicking only means being “flicked off.” I see it happen too often for it to be that every time.
  Sometimes I think it’s part of a stretch when they first get moving.
  Like shaking the sleep out of your foot. She may have been sitting on it too long and was just getting the circulation going.
  And definitely can be a feisty dance.
  
  Now if you’ll excuse me, a bullet like bunny just shot across my dining room. Must go check it out.
