Between the two of them, Ruby stands to be one very happy cat!I'll have to add that to Ruby's wishlist, along with the kitty bubbles.

We just had an encounter with 3 toddlers too. None of the cats liked the small, noisy and hyper things lol. Skye hid under the couch and Benny rocketed away somewhere. With some encouragement by me, Nemo, my chill orange tabby boy allowed a little bit of petting before he went back to our bed. They don’t have to worry though. I’m staunchly childfree!BJ gave that bunny a smackdown.
I don't know how my cats would react to large stuffed animals, I don't think we have any. I know they are afraid of babies. When my neighbor's grandson was outside, they ran away from the window in horror.
Awwww, poor rabbit! Such a nice-looking rabbit, too! I hope (s)he finds a nice home and is loved by someone.I hope everyone had a peaceful day. I had planned to do a nice Spring time post of kitties snuggling a stuffed bunny toy and flowers from the garden but.....we all know that plans don’t always work out. I tried! Here’s what happened.
Banjo and Whistle were the first to approach the rabbit.

Some approached cautiously! Is that a rabbit?

Whistle sniffed.

Smokey joined him.

Whistle had to clean the scent off his nose afterwards. Then he and Smokey left.

Flowers continued the cautious approach from behind the pool. Is this turning into a rabbit hunt?

Thrasher was uninterested. Flowers began to look a little worried.

Another route seemed better.

She approached the rabbit from behind as Mitsy left the possible danger to her.

Thrasher thought the caution was amusing.

Perhaps stalking such a ferocious looking rabbit would be better from above.

It seemed to be a feral rabbit.
View attachment 281815
Upon closer examination, it appeared frightening.
View attachment 281816
Maybe getting this close was unwise!
View attachment 281817
Backing off slowly seemed to be the best thing to do. Especially since almost all the other cats had left.

Maybe the rabbit won’t notice!

Really Flowers?!?!?!?
View attachment 281820
I can’t believe she’s scared of a stuffed rabbit!
View attachment 281821
BJ! You better come help. Flowers is leaving!
View attachment 281822
Okay! I eliminated the threat! Bunny down!
View attachment 281823
It’s safe. You can come back!
View attachment 281824
Are you sure you got it BJ?
View attachment 281825
He got it!
View attachment 281826
Flowers doesn’t like rabbits. Even after BJ makes them surrender!!
View attachment 281827
I had to remove the rabbit! Note Dolly on top of the pink blanket. He slept through the entire event.

Next year, I’ll just give them eggs!View attachment 281835
We’d appreciate that Mom! That rabbit thing wasn’t funny! View attachment 281836
Poor kitties! The worst part is that I had to laugh ( just a little) that Flowers decided to abort the attack of the rabbit! I had no idea that most of the kitties would disapprove of a big toy! They play with stuffed toys all the time. I suppose this one was just a little too much like the real thing. I guess that Flowers must have had a bad encounter with a rabbit before. After all, the rabbits we have outside are very fierce!! Thank goodness BJ came to the rescue! I had to laugh a little bit at that too! He wasn’t fooled by the bunny at all but he enjoyed being the hero! One swipe of his paw and the bunny was subdued! Yay BJ!
Although the bunny wasn’t a big hit with the other kitties, I had to put the bunny in a bag and take it outside before Flowers was happy. She even came and sniffed all over the floor where the bunny had been sitting. I have learned something new about the kitties. No scary bunnies!
So much for the image I had in mind of kitties curled up with a cute stuffed bunny!! At least I got a couple of pictures of some happy Flowers!

No stuffed bunnies were harmed during this post! The stuffed bunny will be rehomed to a family that will love her!! At least the garden pictures turned out like I imagined. I hope you all enjoy the flowers from Sarah’s Garden.
Have a great night everyone!
She's my spoiled baby.Between the two of them, Ruby stands to be one very happy cat!
No scary bunnies!
Wow. Love it.When the neighbors moved, they gave my mom a HUGE plush polar bear.
What a cute little helper lol.Every morning, retired 72 year-old Stephen Mckears kept finding his tools that he'd left on his workbench the day before, stored back in his toolbox. He put a camera on his workbench overnight.
My cat Chuchi does the opposite, he tears things up and makes a big mess during the night.What a cute little helper lol.
Well, cats. Lol.My cat Chuchi does the opposite, he tears things up and makes a big mess during the night.
When we lived in the Mojave, the land was shared with kangaroo rats, "pack" (wood) rats and field mice. The wood rats were very much like this. They also loved to munch on firewalls of vehicles and wiring in the engine compartments.Every morning, retired 72 year-old Stephen Mckears kept finding his tools that he'd left on his workbench the day before, stored back in his toolbox. He put a camera on his workbench overnight.
rubysmama TYSM! I honestly didn't know what to do with it. It takes up most of the double-size bed. And it's very unwieldy to move!She's my spoiled baby.
Former feral afraid of a stuffy bunny. Good thing BJ is around to protect all of them.
Wow. Love it.
They are so beautiful! I was reading about them online earlier. Their history goes back to pre-christian culture. Very lovely!Those eggs remind me of the ones that my uncle would bring home with him. He worked for a railroad, and lived in a largely Polish and Ukrainian neighborhood, and every year, around Easter, he would give my mother another one of their intricately-decorated eggs. They were works of art.
Ruby spoiled. Nah!!! Just very well loved! That’s as it should be.She's my spoiled baby.

That video is soooo cute! It’s not a rat, it’s a little elf! I would love an elf but I think these cats would be scared of it and BJ would give it a swat!
Awwww, poor rabbit! Such a nice-looking rabbit, too! I hope (s)he finds a nice home and is loved by someone.
For some unknown reason, I did not like plush bears when I was small. People would give me teddy bears and I would throw them and yell, "I don't WANT that bear!" according to my mom. Well, fast forward and my parents had neighbors they befriended. When the neighbors moved, they gave my mom a HUGE plush polar bear. He resides in the guest room and has been a source of softness, warmth and comfort to many a feline furmily member.
Gorgeous flowers! That is the bluest iris I have ever seen. A true, deep ultramarine blue. Gorgeous!

I love the photo of Sammi Angel and the Bear! That is adorable! The Bear does look like it would be snuggly for kitties. People too! Lol Thst blue iris is a favorite with me too! The color is amazing. Sarah’s Garden usually has something pretty blooming.Those eggs remind me of the ones that my uncle would bring home with him.

Really cool !!!! You made ALL of them, JcatbirdJcatbird, I'm very impressed with your crafting skills, what cool eggs!
I had to scroll back up to look at her ear, as I'd never noticed the tip before. Much nicer, for sure.I wish they could tip all the cats like they did to Banjo, with just a little snip. It looks so much nicer.
