More like barbed wire than velveteen.

This bunny glared at me from the shelf:

 

"Buy me!"  He snarled.  So I did.  Isn't he fierce?  I was quite intimidated.  He reminded me of someone:

I send him to my nephew with a note:

Dear Cupcake,
Please keep a close eye on this bunny.  He is very fierce.  He bit me.  Happy Easter!
Love, Aunt Kate


They get along very well.
