As Frankie and I returned from our walk this morning, we encountered a rabbit in front of our house. I was surprised how close it let Frankie get before running off.

Maybe Frankie thought it was a new breed of kitty, so he wanted to go and greet it!
Frankie has encountered rabbits at a home we lived in until 2018.
Ah yes – those kitty hormones kick in and he goes into hunting mode! LOL Looks like a little “wabbit” too!
Hugs, Pam and Teddy
He was a wascal wabbit. 🙂
Brave bunny!
Sloppy kisses,

Did you do the bunny hop Frankie?
🙂
I think they hope by standing still, they won’t be noticed. Once sure they have been, they take off. Of course, I could be wrong.
I don’t know. We don’t see too many bunnies where I’m at but maybe they are used to people.
Good try Frankie.
At 15 and a half years old I think he’s lost a step or two.
you would fit pawfectly in our hunting crew ;O)
Perfect. 🙂
Prey-instincts have correctly identified the predator in the cat.
Yes. Hunger is not a factor.
We often have bunnies in our yard and alley. Misty May chased one once. Thankfully the rabbit got away. Of course, the gang now is confined to the catio. Bet Frankie really liked the experience.

Frankie caught a rabbit once about eight or ten years ago. He escaped when they pizza guy came. Me and the pizza guy tried to catch him. While Frankie was running away from us he had time to catch a rabbit. We lost him for a few seconds and then when we saw him a rabbit was hanging out of his mouth.
Maybe the heat made it sluggish
We always walk in the morning when it is just a little hot.
