October 10, 2011 - A Sad Day



Our little Cookie Buns is gone. Something got in his cage last night, out on our patio, and killed him. Annie and Otto won't stop barking, and have been running around through the flower bed near Cookie's cage, but I can't find any evidence that would shed a light on what did the deed. There has been a strange cat in the neighborhood lately, and I saw it on our patio once. Would a cat kill a rabbit? He was a tiny thing, barely two pounds. Whatever it was, there was quite a struggle and a lot of bloodshed.

    Oh I am so sorry to hear that! A cat would definitely kill a rabbit, though it would eat it as well.

    Oh No!! I'm so sorry! It could have been a cat..or a raccoon. I've lost chicks to raccoons. Such a sad loss.

    I am so, so sorry for your loss. I have one (same breed) and I know I would be devestated if I were in your shoes right now.

    Yes, a cat would kill a rabbit, but it was more likely a raccoon if I had to guess. How difficult was the cage to get into? Cats aren't as skilled as coons are at breaking into things. :( I'm very sorry for Mr. Cookie, I know how much you loved that guy from how well you took care of him.

    Oh my goodness Granny, how horrible. I just don't know what to say. Poor Cookie. Cookie did have a wonderful life though.

    Yes, a feral cat would definitely kill a rabbit.

    OMG! I was just talking to Mike about Cookie this weekend, telling him how you've been feeding Cookie meals from your garden for years. I'm so sorry. This hurts my heart.

    Oh, Gran, I'm so sorry. I know what a part of the family Cookie was. A cat would definitely do that, we have seen them go after and get whole litters of bunnies or even kittens when I lived on the farm. I am so sad for you, Cookie had a wonderful life though and was a very lucky bunny for a good long time, take comfort in that.

    Oh poor little Cookie! My heart is aching for your loss - so sad he had to leave you in such a manner. He was a very lucky bunny to have you as his human though... such a long life filled with good care and garden fresh food.

    I'm so sorry, Granny! Several weeks ago, we lost 2 of our 3 bunnies to a predator attack. It's so heart-breaking. We suspect a raccoon.
