Hi! So, as the title says, my cat found a bunny outside and brought it in. We heard it "screaming" and we took it away from him.
I have to add, my cat isn't hostile. He wouldn't kill it. He'd think of it as a toy. He didn't bite it or hurt it enough to make it bleed.
We took it inside for a bit, then let it out and put it in the corner of our neighbors yard, which has a shed and a fence, so there'll be a lot less wind. After an hour we heard the screaming again and it was in the kitchen again.
I did a small amount of research and I'm fairly sure it's about 2 and a half weeks old. I tried giving it lettuce (We don't have any rabbits so we don't have pellets) chopped up, and other things I read online that it can eat, and it didn't eat anything.
I'm not sure where it originally came from, but right now I don't know what to do with it. It's currently on my bed next to me sleeping. Here's a picture of it when I first found it an hour ago:
Its eyes are open, and it tried to hop away from my cat when it was batting at it before we picked it up.
If I could have some advice, that'd be great
(I'm sorry if this is in the wrong forum. I thought this was the best that suited my problem. If there's an other one I should put this in, please tell me and I'll move it )
I'm not a rabbit expert so please don't criticize me too bad if i did something wrong
EDIT: I put the bunny in a plastic box (didn't put the lid on it though) and went to pick up the cloth I had put it in when we set it in our neighbors yard. SURPRISE! The bunny was still in the cloth. So apparently the 2nd time my cat "caught the bunny", he actually caught its sibling. Not sure where my cat is now, though we looked for him for a while. So now I have two bunnies.
My plan is to keep them in the box until tomorrow where there'll be light so I can actually see if the mother is outside. I have special milk in our fridge that cats can drink without getting sick, so I've put that on my finger and let the bunnies nibble it off. (Again if I shouldn't be doing this, please don't be too harsh for me. I'm not an expert on rabbits ^.^'')
