A silver Maine Coon cat and a tan lop-eared bunny lie side by side on warm wooden deck boards in the sunlight 18 / 33

The Sunniest Spot on the Deck Had Room for a Maine Coon and a Bunny

AI imagemaine coonlop-eared bunnysunbathing

The deck boards are warm and golden, and a silver Maine Coon has stretched himself out along them with his chin resting on the wood. Beside him, a plump tan lop-eared bunny lies with her ears folded down and her eyes calm, looking out at the same patch of sunlight. A wooden fence and some potted plants stand behind them, and the whole scene has the slow, lazy feeling of a warm afternoon.

Sunbathing is a favorite pastime for many cats, and they often seek out warm patches to rest in. Rabbits enjoy a bit of sun too, but they can overheat more quickly than people expect, so a shady retreat and fresh water should always be nearby. Maine Coons are large, gentle cats, and with their friendly personalities they sometimes get along nicely with other pets. If you want to let a cat and rabbit share an outdoor space, make sure the area is secure and supervise them at all times. A rabbit's bones are delicate, and even a friendly paw can cause harm. Your vet can advise you on how to keep both pets comfortable during warm weather.

The two of them have settled down like old friends on a lazy Sunday. There is nothing to chase and nowhere to go, and that seems to suit them perfectly. The sun moves slowly across the boards, and they move just as slowly with it.
