There's nothing better than a nice warm rabbit in your belly. [View all]

A live one, of course. Damn are they cuddly. Ours is 5 1/2 now and the two dogs and three cats love him. My 14 year old "big boy" grabs him by the neck and bathes him like a kitten. They sleep together, both purring. It's nice to pass out on the bed and wake up a few hours later with a rabbit and cat curled into you, both purring. I've never eaten rabbit, and I never will. They make me melt.
