Cats and Rabbits!

Last night our young cat (Dizzee) brought in a baby rabbit - the biggest catch so far (he had mainly been bringing in little voles up to now). The rabbit was still alive so I did the only possible thing to get the rabbit from Dizzee - I picked him up by his tail and swung him about until he let go. I then chucked the cat out of the kitchen and chased the rabbit around until I eventually caught it.

It was very scared - of course - and so I found a pet carrier and some lettuce and put him in there. He didn't have any obvious injuries and was just in shock. We then left him overnight and I checked him this morning, he seemed okay but I decided to keep him in for the day to be sure.

When we came home this evening we found two more baby rabbits - 1 dead and the other half eaten, I wonder how many more there will be to come.

After a coffee and a piece of carrot cake (quite appropriate) we took the rabbit round to the lake behind the house where we knew there were hundreds of rabbits and released it. I opened the pet carrier and he jumped out and ran off to a little hill where there are many rabbit warrens - hopefully this is where it came from and it has now found its way home - if not, a new home.
