The Bunny Skipped the Walk and Hopped on the Bengal's Back

AI imagebengal catlop-eared bunnybackyard

Nobody told the bunny she was not supposed to ride a cat. A fluffy gray lop-eared bunny sits perched on the back of a spotted brown Bengal, gripping the cat's fur with her small front paws and looking ahead with calm, bright eyes. The Bengal strides forward across the grass with her golden-green eyes fixed on a point beyond the camera, her glossy rosettes shining in the low sunlight. In the background are a shed, a house wall, and a few garden plants, with a blue watering can peeking out.

Bengals are athletic, intelligent cats with a lot of energy, and they usually love to explore. Many people say they are happiest when they have a job or something to climb, which is a handy trait for a big yard. A bunny riding on a cat is a funny image, but it is best left to pictures like this rather than real life, because rabbits have delicate spines and should be handled with care. Any time a cat and rabbit share a yard, keep a close eye on them, and offer the rabbit a safe place to hop away. Slow introductions and calm cats make for safer friendships.

The Bengal does not seem to mind her passenger at all, and the bunny looks completely at ease. Together they look like a tiny parade of two.
