If I crawled around on all fours, hopped around, attached some huge bunny ears to my head, ate from a bowl on the ground filled with hay and pellets, and occasionally screamed like a rabbit, would my pet rabbit accept me as a fellow rabbit?
I think one way a human can become closer to his or her pet is to act like the pet. Like basically the more pet-like you yourself act, the more acceptance you may gain from the pet.
For example, consider a black person in the streets of Chicago or Detroit. Acting "black"--that is, selling drugs, committing crimes, acting "Ghetto", listening to rap, not being able to read or write "good", and talking in ebonics--is one way for a person to be accepted by other blacks. So I think this logic may also apply to rabbits, dogs, cats, etc.
What do you think?
