Cat Nurses Bunnies!

Our family is pretty inclusive and open. There is always enough room and food for one more person or animal.I can't really offer a rational explanation for the behaviour of our animals,though. Just like our kids, our animals get along for the most part; they have lots of personality and they exhibit unique characteristics. The the most dramatic animal stories involve rabbits and a cat or dog.



Someone gave us a female rabbit but we decided,after a week, that although she usually used the litter box, there were to many rabbit balls appearing on the floor. Anthony was faster at crawling than I was at sweeping. So until Anthony was a bit older, Bunny had to live in the barn.
A week later I moved the chesterfield only to discover two baby bunnies! We were frantically looking for Mother Bunny when Rachel saw Mother Cat,who had only one newborn kitten, slipping under the couch. Rachel yelled,
"Kitty! Kitty is going to eat the baby bunnies!"
(We could never settle on a name so after calling ' here kitty, kitty'all the time, Kitty bcame her name by default.)

 We all quickly uncovered the bunnies again and there was black Kitty nursing two tiny, white rabbits.
