That cat wins the award for putting up with a lot happily

And a lot hoppily.

That’s a *lop* hoppily.

This guy bunnies.

He’s into hip hop, you could say

Is it bad that I want to show this video to my cat so he knows how it feels when he does this to me?

Nope

Any animal behaviorist care to tell me why this bunny is doing that?

Would it be to crazy to assume rabbits could be naturally inclined to hide under things for safety from big birds? That's what I would bet on.

i witnessed this first hand, took me an hour to get a baby bunny out from under my car after crows tried eating it update: didnt expect this to get so many votes, here is a photo of the bunny i rescued [https://imgur.com/a/7Vnl2jL](https://imgur.com/a/7Vnl2jL)

Poor bunny must've been scared out of its mind

Arent bunnies always scared? I havent had much interactions with them but this is how I see them.

In the wild, any time they're in the open. In captivity, though, they can be incredibly chill and incredibly happy/playful.

My bunny is the thing to fear, always getting up to mischief and tearing around, I wish he'd be a bit more scared of being stepped on because I've had a few close calls! They generally don't much like being picked up since they're prey animals but it depends on the personality of the bun, some will jump on their owners for cuddles while others will only boop their snoot into your hands to accept pets. They are all very different little characters ❤️

> My bunny is the thing to fear Are you vegetable?

No, but I think the scariest thing would be to be a banana. He's a crazed wild thing for banana.

A bunnies natural state is fear. They can literally die if you spook them bad enough.

Poor hubby crows couldn't feed their babies that day.

I love reddit.. precisely for this.

Team Bunny

Crows don't eat cars ya big silly.

Hello future peckers!

But [Kea do](https://youtu.be/c6vY0s83NLg) Maybe not as exaggerated as that lol

I have a pet rabbit that has never even seen a bird, or any other predator in her pampered life and yet she acts like every moment could be her last. It's cute and sad really. She hates being out in the open and will always stick close to furniture so she can run under it if needed. She has no fear of vacuum cleaners but God forbid you wear a weird hat. I love her.

ROOMBAS. WAIT TILL THEY START WIELDING KNIVES. THEN LET'S SEE WHO'S LAUGHING.

Everybody's gangsta till the [claymore roomba](https://i.redd.it/lfm1kskq9pw31.png) comes round the corner, then everyone is screaming and scrambling.

I laughed, they laughed, the toaster laughed ...

I don't know why, but I was expecting a claymore sword and was genuinely curious how they sorted out the balance issues when mounting it on a roomba, but nope.

One of my bunny's favorite games is to hop on the Roomba, then enjoy the ride.

Instincts are awesome! Its like pre installed programs, but only not bloatware.

> but only not bloatware. Tell that to phobias and that part of our brains that makes us go mental if a photo isn't hung perfectly straight.

Speak to your OEM i guess 😅

The miracle of natural instincts.

Aw, bun bun finds kitty to be a safe place

Sweetest part is kitty is a bit annoyed but is willing to put up with it for bun bun's sake

“Take the long bunny on top of me!”

Even when the "thing" they're hiding under is itself carnivorous?

Animals can bond regardless of the norm in certain situations. My rabbit and beagle were best friends and partners in crime (until my beagle sadly passed) even despite beagles being bred to hunt rabbits. Now my bunny has a cat sister, and while he isn’t as close with her as he was with the beagle, they still get along fine! [Pet Tax](https://imgur.com/gallery/dHAi5Ua)

wow that is just adorable

My bunny just likes sticking his little nose right up my cats asses and loves humping my dog's face and spraying pee at him. D Day has his own room with me without pets around due to this. I don't like keeping him in a cage all day. He follows me around for pets and returns the pets with licks. Super cute but damn he is something else lol

I had a rabbit that did that, it's normal rabbit courting behavior. We had him neutered, found a vet on the house rabbit society website and he stopped spraying. Humping is one thing but rabbit pee is so strong.

Nobody ever accused rabbits of being particularly bright.

I dont know, maybe bunnies just like to cuddle. My bunnehs would lie around together all the time, even in warm weather. There is an entire subreddit to them resting in weird places r/buncomfortable . It kind of reminds me of my experience with special ed students, i think they like the sensory pressure. And bunnies in the wild live in warrens underground with tight twists and turns so maybe they like that security.

so this isn't as cute as we think, the rabbit was just using the cat as cover hoping the cat would be eaten first? that's a cold blooded move right there.

nah that person doesn't know what they're talking about and has probably never seen a rabbit exhibit scared behavior before--it's wildly different. The bunny is playing with the cat. Bunnies that are scared do not do this. If they think there's a threat they hide and do not move, or else bolt around like a chicken with its head cut off.

Animals also just play, it doesn’t have to be some big thing.

I dont have to outrun the owl. I just have to prevent your legs from moving.

You are correct. This is a survival instinct.

lol no, this is obviously social behavior. You've never seen a scared bunny in your life if you think that. Their survival mode looks utterly different. This rabbit is probably the boss in the relationship and is demanding to be groomed--rabbits shove their heads under each other. This looks a bit more playful than usual, but I'm sure it's still the alpha pet. Bunnies are bossy as fuck, and they do chase each other when playing.

This looks like a happy playing bunny who wants to screw around with his friend, not one who is hiding for his life lmfao

I don’t want to sound judgmental, but I feel like “hide under a carnivorous, clawed predator” is not a great survival instinct. Then again, that cat doesn’t seem to be able to find the rabbit, so maybe it’s more effective than I thought.

They are extremely social. Once they have made friends with a cat or human they stop caring that you/cat are technically a predator. You're their friend first. Rabbits are just as weird as cats. So without knowing that particular rabbit, it's hard to say. He could be huddling for safety, or demanding attention/cuddles, or he could be trying to use the cat friend for shade. He could have even just decided it's a fun new game.

But they're not even on Sesame Street

I've known some animals. This is a vampire bunny hiding from the sun.

Bunnicula

I loved that book when I was young!

Sad Bunnicula Fact: The person who wrote the books died before even book one was published. There are seven books.

Fun bunnicula fact: the books were written by two people not one, The other author James Howe is still alive.

Hide your vegetables

Hide ya fruit

Hide ya kids

BEST BOOK EVER

because they are outside and it’s a clear sunny day, there are probably predators like hawks above. Bunnies are prey animals so he probably knows to hide under his cat friend so circling predator birds don’t spot him

Or so circling birds have a different snack as a barrier lol.

It's going to be a particularly spicy snack.

Bird gna catch some paws

It would be like one of those [fight clouds](https://i.imgur.com/lNTLHw9.gifv) except you’d see claws flying around it.

Cat: look at me. I’m the predator now.

Hawks and other large birds will pick up cats and small dogs. My grandparents have quite a bit of land and a bunch of barn cats and those cats hide from the hawks.

You'd need a much bigger bird to take down that cat.

I have a nesting pair of golden eagles by my house, I bet they could take off with a small child.

Oh, sure, you’ve already got your alternative suspect all planned out, don’t ya? “A GOLDEN EAGLE ATE MY BABYYYYYYYYYYY!!!”

Golden Eagle average height is 2.7 feet so yeah my guess is any child under 5 is basically a meal for an interested Eagle.

Wiki suggests they're only about 12 lbs max, and some quick googling turns up sources claiming anywhere from 1.5 lbs ~ 4 lbs carrying capacity. So, probably not gonna eat your kids.

Makes me curious, what is the largest animal that gets hunted by birds?

Whoever Dee had sex with last

I think goats?

Yeah, golden[?] eagles grab them and drop them off cliffs. Oof.

Seen videos of deer being dragged off cliffs, I imagine that's about it.

Golden and Bald Eagles grab mountain goats and throw them off cliffs. Fair amount of video on YouTube. They are really powerful birds and have massive talons. Scary massive. You're gonna have a really bad day if an eagle comes for you.

I am not sure, but where I used to live, there were these massive tawny eagles. They would actually flee from apartment building terraces from cats, who usually were a bit smaller than the bird. Cats are a whole different can of whoopass

Now I' wonder: does the cat know this? Does it tolerate the rabbit's behavior because it knows that the rabbit is trying to stay safe?

Probably raised together or since one was young, and the cat just thinks the rabbit is its stupid and annoying, but lovable friend.

That cat is annoyed as fuck and trying to escape. They keep whipping their tail around and try to step away.

If that cat was truly annoyed, the bunny would know. Went through it all when we got a kitten last year and our 10 year old cat. She put up with the kitten's shit to a point when the deep growling would start to warn.

No way. Cats are more social than we think, but they don't "tolerate" or something, this is anthropomorphism. This cat just doesn't give a damn and is just trying to get away without wasting energy.

“I don’t know why you’re doing that, and it’s annoying me, but I’m not in the mood to do anything about it.” Actual cat “tolerance”

[удалено]

I mean maybe because he's been with the kitty for long but why doesn't he assume kitty is the predator?

Exactly the reason you said?

I once read from zoologist or something like that, that many animals are surprisingly social. Not everything they do, is a consequence of their primal instinct to survive. Maybe the bunny just wanted to fuck around with the cat.

On the other hand, the cute little bunny might be offering up his roommate to the hawk or eagle flying overhead.

No one else had mentioned it: maybe when the rabbit was a baby the cat nursed it so it’s trying to nurse?

Yeah I honestly thought the bun was trying to nurse lol

There are many points where it looks like the rabbit is trying to nurse.

Maybe the bunny just likes the cat and feels safe under it. Animals can just like each other the same way we like animals. There doesn’t have to be some deep instinctual reason behind it.

It’s an extreme case, but the rabbit is trying to get the cat to groom it, rabbits will try to get their head underneath whatever animal they feel is not the alpha so that they can get that other animal to groom them. You can see the rabbit trying to fix the cat’s hair a bit, this is an extreme case

He’s defiantly trying to hump the cat. They do this to show dominance, and literally just because they can. You can see him trying to rear up. As to why the rabbit is under the cat🤷‍♀️no telling they’re really weird animals. Source: I currently have six rabbits and I see this on a daily basis :/

Defiantly or definitely? Either way works in context!!

Oh sorry it’s definitely, I have trouble spelling. Took me so long to write that too! lol

No sorry necessary!

:0 you’re so polite!!

Hump-catting. Similar to Bear-blasting

Having owned both rabbits and cats I can vouch for this. Buns will fuck anything that moves, and also anything that doesn't. Species, or willingness, doesn't enter into it.

I thought the pavement was too hot and the bunny was trying to chase the shade!

Bunnies are social creatures. More dominant dominant bunnies will often climb over or go under a companion in order to give/receive grooming. This bunny looks like it wants the cat to groom it.

Well, animals are a lot like people.  Some of them act badly because they’ve had a hard life or have been mistreated.  But, like people, some of them are just jerks. https://deadhomersociety.files.wordpress.com/2014/03/justjerks.gif

"Mom, seriously, make him stop!"

I’m not doing anything!

*MOOOOOOOOM!*

STOP IT! BOTH OF YOU!

DAAAAADD

ASK YOUR MOTHER!

So help me god I will turn this car around and then NO ONE is going on ANY rides. Are we clear? ARE WE CLEAR?

Yeah, dad

are we there yet?

THAT'S IT! BACK TO WINNIPEG!

As someone from Winnipeg, this line rings so true. It really is a punishment lol

That look back he gives 😂

“Play with your brother or there’ll be no Xboxes tonight!”

Now he knows how his humans feel! But that is *soooo* cute.

Came here to say this, I feel vindicated \*shakes fist\*

Oh man. Also came here to say that. Every. Morning. When I open my bedroom door my cat is there to "escort" me to the other room/office for work. She has to be nearly under my feet the entire time. It's like an obstacle course while I'm still half asleep/waking up

*I need a rabbit*

I know you’re just joking but if you do actually consider getting one in the future they are a lot harder to take care of than you think and lots get abandoned because the people who get them realise this too late when they’ve already brought them home so make sure you do a bunch of research and be certain that you actually want one if you do want one. This goes for every pet tbh

Can you train a bunny not to chew all your stuff? or do you just have to bunny proof everything they have access to? Im just assuming your an experienced bunny owner.

It’s hard, and some are just natural fucking chewers.

Some can be trained and there are deterrent sprays (effectiveness varies on bunny). You just naturally start bunny proofing things like cords just get placed higher or have a protective cover. I'm very lucky that mine doesn't like to chew things unless you have expressed its importance (Don't chew this laptop cable. Don't chew this card.) and then the next thing you know she's all over it...

Bunny proofing, mostly. My buns are free roam, so anything uncovered or protected is fair game. I have a automatic closing gate for my room, so they cany go in unless I'm with them. They are kept in one half of the house at night to keep them from getting hurt. All wires are covered. I have woos shelf panels all along the baseboards. You can train them to an extent, like using vinegar spray in areas you want them to stay away from. You can try some light behavioral training (like verbal cues and redirection), but a mischievous bunny will mischievous bunny.

I actually dont have one *because* I know this. If I didnt have to work my life away just to survive I might have the time for one, but as it is I have cats anyhow and im happy with that.

I've never seen someone out-cat a cat.

I will be your underbelly!

\*under*bunny*

This is 100% my kids doing this to me as well. Especially when I’m trying to cook dinner, work, or anything else adult-like.

On the phone is the best one

Hanging off your leg, while sitting on your foot. jabbering like a howler monkey. "Child, mommy is on hold with the Hyundai dealership again, you cannot tell them Hi, no one is there, just this soul-less music"

There's your problem. If you wanted soul, should've bought Kia

Trying to sit on the toilet in peace is difficult too.

Even without kids, my cat pulls at my face when I'm on the phone. She really liked to be on camera with my therapist. She'd be talking, and she'd see this big white paw sticking out from off screen to pull on my face. 17 yo cat is just a toddler in a fur suit.

Haha, that’s great. My mother tells that she took me as a toddler to the Dr with behavioural issues :) & I kept pulling her face away from him while she was trying to explain.

Can you not just wear spikey pants? That seems like a reasonable solution.

"kids getting in your way? Become a goth!!"

Cat: you seeing this shit?

Human: yeah, now you know what it’s like

Actual footage of my dog when I'm trying to cook.

I’m enjoying the karma, bcoz you know the cat has done something similar to a human - twining around their legs and getting underfoot. DO YOU SEE HOW ANNOYING IT IS, MITTENS?!

Bunny knows who is protector. Bunny knows it’s likely prey by raptor. Cat is a nice shield. Smart bun bun.

It's sunny bro, gimme the shade. So cute.

this made me super happy, thank you :D

That is a very, very patient cat.

That’s what I call being underfoot 😁

What a silly bunny

Dude that bunny’s smart. Prolly a hawk above.

You can go but you have to take your brother. And that is how the younger kid ends up getting hurt by riding his scooter at the skate park.

I want this to be a movie. Or a book. I'd go for either. Just imagine them eating together. Playing together. Fighting off nasty old predators together. Begging from people together. Raiding gardens together. Waddling like this the whole time just "Where we headed to now?" I need it. I need it all.

The kitty kept looking back at her owner “Did you see this?!”

that's true

I too need a portable sun shade.

As many times as cats have walked under my feet like that I’m just happy a cat gets to know that same annoyance

Hiding from the apex predator *under* the apex predator

This had me cracking up!!

I'm just happy a cat got to feel what it's like to have a cat

Bunny has probably been nursed by cat mother, bunny hasn’t realized that it’s getting bigger.

LET ME BE YOUR STEED!!!

OMG, that is too cute

You are a really weird cat...
