Will A Cat Kill A Rabbit

If I didnt have a barn camera I would have never believed my cats did this.

Will a cat kill a rabbit. The biology of its behaviour. I caught one of our cats killing one of our baby rabbits last summer. In fact a cat might even kill a rabbit with no intention of eating it.

Although cats and rabbits can get along it takes training for both the cat and the rabbit and they should not be left unsupervised. A large rabbit can kill a housecat in a fight though they arefairly evenly matched. Cats are natural predators but that doesnt mean that all of them are a danger to your rabbits.

The only way to stop it would be to contain the cat theres no other option there if you want to let him outside loose hes going to continue to kill stuff thats what cats do. Cats can hunt and kill rabbits but its variant on the situation the environment they are in and the type and breed of the rabbit. Also you really dont want to be bitten by.

Hunting and killing weaker animals is what comes naturally to cats. As unfortunate as it is they are not technically doing anything wrong. Rabbits are a major pest in Australia.

For example a well-fed cat kills owing to the desire to hunt. Most cat studies show that small mammals mainly rodents rabbits or hares are the dominant prey of domestic cats. Cats love to hunt and kill and their hunting prowess enables them to kill mice and rabbits alike.

Thus cats tend to hunt and kill rabbits once they see their fluffy bodies hopping in front of them. A friend advised that his sisters rabbit would occasionally roll over on its side and kick the cat across the room apparently for amusement. Predation by domestic cats on lagomorphs is more commonplace on the young of the species.
