George was a 2 year old Black Rabbit, far too young to die. I went outside last night to lock the rabbits up in their hutch to discover his body, lying motionless on the floor. I immediatly picked him up and took him inside. He was still warm and not long dead, I cried so hard then ran back outside to look for Lucy, the other rabbit. I couldn't find her anywhere and feared the worst. I looked in both the neighbours gardens, ran out into the street and looked under all the cars and even went to the woods a couple of times in search for her. After a thorough search for her I went back to George and examined him to determine the cause of death. I found some small puncture marks on the back of his neck, at first I thought maybe a fox but the injury was too neat, and why would the fox leave him in the garden? For the rest of the night till the following morning I cradled him in my arms crying the whole time, occasionally going out looking for Lucy. Thankfully Lucy came out of hiding during the day, she was in the street, it wasn't too hard to get her back and lock her safely in her hutch. After speaking with various people I concluded that Georges life was taken by a cat, I think it was the neighbours cat across the road. Their cat is fairly large and I have seen it eyeing the rabbits before. I'm still in shock over this, I can't beleive his life ended so tragically!
RIP George
