Hi!
I would be really grateful for any one who can advise me on cat behaviour.
I have recently moved to a new house and my rabbits are outdoors in a hutch attached to a secure run. I have seen a cat around the houses and I have seen it one or two times in the garden before my rabbits came to live with us, so I am assuming the garden is it's 'territory'. Now, I found to my horror the other day the cat was sitting on the rabbit run and walking around it and to the side of it, looking like it was trying to get in. The cat jumped from the fence on top of the hutch and my poor rabbit jumped out it's skin!!
I saw it again today and it was again sitting on the roof of the run. One of my rabbits was outside in the run and the rabbits didn't seem bothered by it. I have no idea how long the cat had been there.
Do you think the cat is trying to get in to eat the rabbits or do you think it is just curious? I don't know the temperament of the cat but some of you may own cats...
