I have been told it is very hard to keep alive a wild rabbit in captivity. I don't know if that is true, never done it, but good luck too her.

I have also been told that if you take a cats kill away from it, it will quit hunting, My cat is here to keep mice out of the house. So he gets to keep what ever he kills.

She would, obviously, just get it up to the point where she could let it go. I'm not sure how this will work, his eyes aren't even open yet! But she used to do such things when she was growing up, and there's no way to talk her out of trying now. She just felt maternal.

You could have knocked me over with a feather. My wife says she just went out to praise the kitty for his good hunting and he dropped the bunny into her hand.

If he had wanted to continue to play with or eat it, he would have. It's not like she interfered or took it from him.

He had caught one earlier and ate it. And later, afterwards, he caught another one.

But when a cat gives you something it kills, it is showing its love for you. It is the greatest gift a cat can give!

I took a chipmunk away from my cat one day. The poor chipmunk was so traumatized he just stayed frozen in place. I actually had to shoo him away.

The next day my cat left a headless chipmunk on the porch. What was he telling me?
