Critter Saturday

 Joining in today for Saturday's Critters hosted by Eileen (Viewing Nature with Eileen) and Camera Critters .

I spotted this cat while I was out photographing some fences the other day.  It was really wary of me and I barely managed to get a shot of it before it dashed off into some bushes.

Coming home from the store I happened to see a woman leaning down next to a truck parked in a nearby alley.  I wondered what she was doing and then I noticed she was trying to coax a rabbit out from under the truck.  I quickly pulled in our driveway, got my camera and called Coleen.  We headed across the street and down to the alleyway.  The rabbit managed to hop out into the alley and I snapped a couple of shots.  This is the only decent one that I got.  The guy who lived there said it was the next door neighbors rabbit and sometimes it get's loose.  I hope they got it back inside as we live on such a busy street I'd hate for the poor thing to get hit by a car.


Always fun to spot something out of the ordinary.  Hope you've enjoyed my critters today.  -  Have a great day.

  1. Awwww, I love the bunny picture. He looks far too well cared for to be wild. And I feel sad for the kitty to be so skittish. Wonder what her story is.

  5. Cute rabbit! We used to have two bunnies who lived in our backyard. They'd occasionally escape and our neighbors would tell us "your bunnies are out again."

  9. I hope it made it home safely too. Beautiful rabbit. I liked your shy cat too! I came by your blog last night and enjoyed several posts, but was too tired to put together even the simplest of comments :) Wonderful steps in black and white (colour was good too, but black and white more interesting), Coleen looks like such a fun person, and that yawning cat was a spectacular catch. So much to see and enjoy here!

  11. Cute rabbit!

    I found a large black bunny on my way to junior H.S. back in the 1970s. He was hiding under a car on Nebraska Avenue...definitely not a place for a rabbit. Anyways, I took him home and he lived with us and our cats for many years. And my mom wrote me a note so I wouldn't get in trouble for being late for school.

  23. Enjoyed your critters. One of our cats used to be very skittish as well; she showed up at our place when she was quite young, and soon had a litter of kittens. After seeing us take care of her kittens and feeding her, she finally decided to become part of the family. Today she loves to be petted and have her ears scratched! I hope the owners are able to bring the rabbit safely back home.

  25. Cute critters! That rabbit looks well fed!

  26. We have a rabbit that I occasionally let loose in the backyard (I have always thought keeping creatures that love to run and hop in a cage is a bit cruel.) You would think that, once outside, he would want to run away to freedom. Instead, he likes to find a comfortable spot as a home base. From there he explores the yard, but never wanders too far. He is very tame and lets us catch him (although it is often when he is ready to return to the cage and not before).

  43. That was a pretty rabbit! I knew he wasn't wild as he so well groomed. The cat was certainly worried about being followed!

    PS: Glad you enjoyed the Chihuly Glass Exhibit on my blog--I thought the "Walla Walla" name was unusual, but perfect for those onion shaped glass balls in the water!
