pabbi1 Posted April 11, 2009 Report Share Posted April 11, 2009 I went out to the mailbox today, and heard a little rustling in the bushes next to the house. Knew immediately, and visually verified it was Momma Rabbit, who is a regular in the hood. I see her out grazing every night, and it makes for a country feel in the middle of Dallas... along with the squirrels, hawks (that love squirrels and rabbits), and the occasional bobcat, who loves anything furry, including household pets. Well, I step into the bushes trying to get Momma to move along, but, I think the babies were close by, and, perhaps her burrow (or one of) is next to my house - haven't yet checked. So, Raoul, http://home.swbell.net/pabbi/Raoul1c.jpg, goes out late afternoon, as is his usual. About 30 minutes later we hear a cry - definitely a baby in total distress, just not sure immediately what it was. I was hoping it was one of my other animals caught in a closet. Not so much. Nope, the action was at my front door, where the mighty hunter deposited his trophy - and awaited his praise, which was NOT forthcoming. So, the result - 50,000 years of domestic cat DNA meets small furry. The Easter Bunny is dead. Do NOT chase the link unless you demand picture. http://home.swbell.net/pabbi/ebunny.jpg I has a sad.

moray james Posted April 11, 2009 Report Share Posted April 11, 2009 beautiful cat and it knows it's a cat and what cats do. Wonder why they like the heads so much? All that bone. She found the easter bunny and ate its head, I've been doing that since I was a kid. Happy easter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

screaming oranges Posted April 11, 2009 Report Share Posted April 11, 2009 Did the cat actually eat the head, or dump it somewhere? This is the 2nd time I have hard of a cat beheading a bunny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pabbi1 Posted April 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2009 you could just make your cat an indoor cat. I have two indoor cats, but he can jump my 8' fence in the back yard, where my other two can't. I try that every time this happens (3x a year), but he kills 10x the # in rats, as we have a power easement behind the house, so, bad and good. Regarding consumption, the dastardly act happened on the mat in front of the door - guessing he dumped the head, rather than consuming, but it was more like the fore legs and forward, though I have watched him consume baby rats (3" body) whole. Watching the more cruel things on animal planet (orcas after a sperm whale and her calf, or the baby hippo being eliminated by his uncle) help put this in perspective, but I wish he would somehow be uninterested in rabbits. Good thing the baby squirrels can bite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cclragnarok Posted April 11, 2009 Report Share Posted April 11, 2009 Yesterday I went to one of our company cafeterias for lunch, and one of their specials listed rabbit meat as an ingredient. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
