Rabbits Found

Today, when my 14year old came in excitedly after hanging out the laundry, I wasn't too sure but this is how she said it, " Mama!! I don't know if I'm dreaming but Boboy (our teenage male cat) is playing with rabbits!"

Honestly, I thought she was joking. We don't live in the jungle or out of town. This is Petaling Jaya, Kelana Jaya to be exact. We live in apartment blocks. Where would these rabbits be coming from? We were just getting ready to go to Taman Aman even though it was past 9.00 am.

What I saw just made me feel so sad.

They are so thin and that made their head, eyes and ears seem extra large
Boboy sniffing them up


These two rabbits look like they were not well cared for and seriously underfed. The words 'scrawny' from  Barbie Magic of Pegasus came to mind.

My son said they belonged to someone in another block. I wondered if they had ran away and found this sanctuary in the apartment compound.    I told my kids to leave them there in the fenced area as there are lots of plants for them to feed on. Boboy on the other hand was mighty curious of the little rabbits and stayed close by, sniffing them cautiously. I told him sternly to be gentle with them and not hurt them. Wonder if he understood.

I hope they will survive and fare better here then in a cage.
