*****PICTURES TO FOLLOW sprint is down and they are on my phone.

OK so we had company from out of town spend the night. I have had outdoor cats before bring home extra "food" when there is company. A squirrel tail  or dead bird might greet your guests in the morning when they go out to get the paper. I have only seen this in cats that I have gotten feral and let remain outdoor cats. BUT.......!!!

My cat screamed bloody murder at the back door on Monday morning I opened it up and I swear I thought I was hallucinating. My cat was sitting at the door sill looking up at me and as still as the cat was, a small baby bunny was sitting next to him, with his eyes open looking up at me. Neither of them moved they just looked at me. My minds impression was that the cat had his arm around the bunny and was saying hey mom this is so and so I brought him home for supper... but not the to eat kind of supper the can you feed it supper. That image quickly was replaced with my knowledge of cats. I muttered something and went to grab the bunny. It hopped, I panicked and it took off. The cat gently tried to stop it but at his point I was screaming at the cat and he got freaked out. I finally grabbed the bunny and ran inside and put it in a box.

Now I have been down this road before. You bring it in, you realize it is bleeding or has a broken leg, It is in shock yada yada yada. Next day your throwing it in the dumpster. Once in a blue moon you can nurse one back to health and let it go. I have NEVER had a cat bring one home unless it was injured. ........... until WEIRD MONDAY.

The rabbit was perfectly fine! Aside from being scared of me, it was fine. I borrowed a cage for it from my daughters boyfriend, bought a baby bottle and some hay and got ready to nurse the thing back to health..... or nurse it till it got older. I kept the cat out of the room with the rabbit for the rest of Monday and Tuesday. Yesterday I let him in to see what he would do. Long story short he circled, sniffed, tried to get his paw in thru the holes (and did about an inch). Then he stuck his nose up to the cage. The rabbit and the cat proceeded to touch noses! Now I am not an animal expert but I think this means hiya were friends. OK.....

So Wednesday  night I am thinking about if I should take the thing to a wildlife sanctuary. The rabbit is happily eating dandelions, clover and carrots so formula is not an issue. I feel bad because it is alone in a cage. I start thinking about putting a watch or something in the cage but I dont have anything that ticks. So I drift off to sleep with no solution.

Tonight my husband is on his way out to get the cat food (seriously we were out) and I hear them yelling from outside. I open the window and he is telling me that the cat is herding another rabbit toward the house. I run to the door and sure enough my son runs in with the ball of fur in his hands and we plop it in the cage next to the first one.

So now I have two baby rabbits I am concerned that there is more in whatever nest he is raiding. He might just keep bringing them. I think it is VERY odd that he only got the second one after he saw I had kept the first. CC, my cat, was feral when we got him. He had been surviving on soda and god knows what else in the Comcast center while it was under construction. He was trapped by the University animal control and we adopted him. I have seen little moles dead on the lawn before. Once there was a very large dead rabbit found on the porch and we were not sure but we thought the cat brought it, not sure he killed it because a neighbor said he saw one dead on the street. Of course it could have been the dog but I have only ever saw her kill a rat and she was 7 years younger then. Other than that large dead rabbit the cat has brought nothing to the door ever. If anyone knows anything about animal behavior and can shed some light on this I would love to hear your comments.
