Yesterday I was happily walking down the street, when suddenly a cat darts madly out of someones backyard right in front of me, carrying a small creature in it's mouth. At first I assumed it was a bird because it was making cheeping sounds, the cat hastily carried it under a fence and into its own backyard and dropped it onto a tuft of grass. Then I realized it was a baby bunny! I quickly ran and began knocking on the front door of the house, and a middle aged man appeared, to whom I quickly explained what I had witnessed. He made his way to his backyard, grabbed his cat and put it in the house. As we stood wondering what to do with the poor helpless bunny the gentleman noticed an adult rabbit sitting in his neighbours yard. (Which we figured had appeared in reply to the baby bunny squealing.) The gentleman handed me the baby bunny over the fence to put in the yard, hoping the adult was it's mother and would carry it home to safety. But the grown rabbit just ran away.

I decided to take the bunny to the house across the street, where I had first seen the cat rush from the backyard. As it turned out a family of rabbits did indeed live in a hole in their backyard, and I was taken to it. So we placed the distraught bunny ever so gently in its home, hoping its family would accept it back. It was the cutest thing I have possibly ever seen, and very tiny, luckily we had time to snap a picture.
