Sometimes, inspiration comes at the oddest times..and from completely the wrong impression. Naniyo, the evil green bunny, used to respond to my teasing by "soft-pawing my muzzle". Now the reality was, she was doing that old gesture of sticking your hand on someone's cheek and pushing; that playful "get away with you!" gesture. But for whatever reason, my brain saw it as doing it with those big, soft, bunny feet!
