Sad day, Frosty

[Farmer Kitty]

I was out doing chores this morning and walked into the back barn to find Peanut's rabbit, Frosty dead. I was so stunned all I could do at first was stand there. Then I wacked the cat, picked her up and headed through the main barn to their pen to check on Sandy. Sandy was fine and in the pen. The gate was shut and latched. Frosty had broke out. When the girls get up we will tell them--Not going to be a happy scene.

The vicissitudes of farm life. It doesn't make it any easier though. Give the girls extra hugs from all of us.

 

[Farmer Kitty]

I will. Most of the time the cats don't bother domesticated rabbits. And it's not like he was starved. There was food in the dish. The girls understand the life and death cycle and the fact that cats are prediators but, like you said it doesn't make it any easier. Especially, when both the cat and rabbit are pets.

I revamped where she had gotten out so hopefully Sandy can't.

DH has told Peanut she can have another rabbit. What do you guys think the chances are of Sandy accepting another doe? I know we would have to do the introduction thing and not just through a new one in right away.
