Something I’ve noticed about all animals’ heads over the years: pitch or yaw motion have to do with everyday things like looking for food or targets—but roll always means something more complex. A head tilt can mean curiosity or bargaining or seduction… or, as Chris taught me elsewhere about this instance, something less wonderful. (I should have anticipated that, since I’ve been struggling for the past few months with an inner-ear thingie myself that causes me to tilt my head back and forth at odd times.) I hope that Thistle can get his head straight soon, or, failing that, at least eventually.
He’s looking pretty good this morning, and his attitude seems unimpaired: he hopped into his litter box this morning, gave me a Look, and then hopped back out of it to pee on his carpet.

Mr. Good Ears! Love that expression.
The head tilt is accidentally endearing and Nosy is coping admirably. Happy Bunny Day!
Good for Nosy, and let’s hope he keeps it going.
