Oldie but a Goldie. This was baby Thistle experiencing her first scratchies and being pet on her hinny. It’s her survival instincts she is born with to not want things touching / grabbing their hind end and flanks. The keyboard warriors ripped me apart when I posted this the first time saying I should have corrected her behavior and I was ruining her by allowing this to happen without immediate consequences. At 0 days old… I find that not necessary. I just went right back to scratchies to show her it’s normal and safe here to be pet on her hinny. And she never kicked again🤷🏼♀️ Correction is not always the only way folks. Anyways! A pretty adorable kick either way 😂
