bunnies are not quicker.
both my cats love the taste of bunny best of all.
they do ambush buns by lieing in wait, but my cuddles will chase one down if he sees one.
i no longer have to worry about evil bunnies wrecking my garden.
before i found my feral cat high plains drifter, i lost more than $300 in ornamental plants in one year.
now, all my plants thrive.
i never see live bunnies anymore.

we do not call bunnies evil here 
My girl Julie used to watch the neighbors bird feeder from the porch. Daughter and I were sitting out there one day and merely saw a streak of gray go past us and down 8 stairs, across the yard (a good 50ft) and UP THE POLE to come down with bird in mouth. Daughter (an avid animal lover and vegetarian since age 4 because of this) was almost as quick as Julie, as she ran after her. Next thing I knew my daughter was swinging Julie around in the yard by the feet demanding she drop the bird. This circus seemed to go on FOREVER but Julie did drop the bird and it flew away. Of course there is that thing, that supposed thing that once a cat bites a small animal, rabbit, bird, lizard, frog, even if it gets away, it will die due to something in the cats saliva.
I have driven many many small animals to the local wildlife rehabber in my days and supposedly with anti-biotic shots that animal can be saved.
My older guy Joe is the same. He would not catch a month if it meant he had to chase it. Maybe if it landed on his nose
my kits are not required to hunt.
they just seem to prefer the taste of wild game to kibble.
these guys have enriched my life.
now that i know they live 20 years,
i've made arrangements for their care in case i die.

You’ve never met Stevie nicks before
Stevie nicks would throw your puny cats around like rag dolls and then hump them into submission.
Not all buns are created equal.
I was joking but they are quick I see wild ones go at least 50 60 km/h on my farm next door. They go from one end to the other in the blink of an eye.Plus they can fit in small spaces and dig underground.
i think the super bunny speed is the reason drifter
does ambushes.
according to scientists, house cats are not ambush hunters,
but drifter is.
she will creep up as close as possible to bunnies playing, then freeze in place.
she will not move for hours n hours til a bun hops close.
only then will she spring.
you would expect a big battle because drifter is tiny, not even 7 lbs.
but somehow she gets a quick bite thru the back of the neck which ends the fight.
please note that buns are different in in different areas.
when i gardened in western ny, there were always buns hopping around
they would occasionaly nibble on some veggies but they never ate enow to bother me.
here on the plains they are not native.
some idiot introduce them before WWII.
they got out n bred like rabbits.
here they are ravenous beasts.
one bun can kill hundreds of garden plants
up north they were cute.
here they are evil.
the same thing happened in australia.

now that makes me cry. My mom loved her hummingbirds
It made me cry. Although not as much as when they killed the catbirds. I love those birds, and they come back to the same nesting spot year after year, so the two victims had probably been returning here for ages. Then, in one summer, first one dead, then the other. I grieved.
Cats kill huge numbers of songbirds. I feel guilty letting mine out, but then I'd feel guilty if I kept them in, too.
The bunnies around My area are sweet. They thrive in an industrial park. My bunnies were all stays/feral and thrives in a lumberyard for most of their lives before I got them home with me.
Just goes to show how tough Stevie and them are to have lived in a lumberyard.
cats taking hums is terrible news.
i have a honeysuckle just to draw hums.
plus, i have a feeder.
i did everything i coulld to make my garden welcoming for hums.
i couldn't even yell at my kits for eating hums.
i have 5 fig trees n a grape vine.
it is my kit's job to protect them.

Saw George take off after a squirrel this morning, fingers crossed he develops an interest in mole hunting.
