cats can be harmful to bunnies' health

[fearlesstemp]

Nothing says "Good morning! Welcome to a new day!" like stepping out your front door and being greeted by the image of your cute seven-and-a-half-pound kitty gnawing at the open chest cavity of a tiny bunny.

Me: MOLLY!

Molly: [Looks up curiously, nose covered with blood, then goes back to her feast]

Me: Stop it! Stop gnawing! Stop -- no, not the head! (opens front door) DAD!

Scout: [Strides up to the scene, looking cluelessly curious]

Me: Aw, Scout. Too dumb to be much of a predator. We love you. Molly, why the bunny? Why, always, is it the bunny? Can't you kill some ugly mammal?

Dad: What's -- oh, Jesus Christ.

Me: I have to leave! Have fun!

Dad: Another bunny rabbit?! (To Molly, while shooing her away) Murderer! You vicious murderer!

Molly: [Stands her ground]

Scout: [Sits next to Dad on the front stoop to observe]

Me: [Hops into little blue car to race away, casting one final glance over her shoulder to see her father standing in his mis-matched pajamas in front of the front door, hollering "Killer!" while resorting to kicking at the air a few feet from Molly's head in an attempt to scare her off.]

And we wonder why we're not more popular with the neighbors.
