Yesterday evening, before dusk, I heard a very loud squeaking sort of sound coming from outside, like some small creature about to be murdered. I determined it wasn't a chicken, then saw our old cat Bitty carrying something in her mouth....it was a small rabbit! She brought it onto the porch, and put it down, still very much alive. I scooped up Bitty and stuck her in the house. Then saw a mama rabbit about 30' away....baby ran to mama, and they both hopped away, their little white tails bouncing side by side.....
Bitty seemed to say, 'I didn't hurt it mum, I brought it for you!'
