Sad Ending to My Bunny Story

Tweet

This morning first thing, I looked to see if my bunnies were there. They were gone. I could tell the nest had been uncovered by something. I was sad. But, I held out some hope that they would come back, so I told my husband to leave the bush trimmings there in case they came 'home.' I went to work for a few hours and when I drove up, first thing I noticed was that the bush trimmings had been cleaned up and thrown away! I was sort of surprised because my husband was very sensitive to my caring for these bunnies and I didn't think he would just ignore my request. I came in the house and said, "I noticed you removed the bush trimmings." He said, "The bunnies aren't coming back honey. I found them." My stomach flip flopped. He proceded to tell me where and how he found them. There was no question when he told me details that it had indeed been my very own cat. No other animal would have deposited them where she had left 'remnants' . . . it was at her favorite sleeping spot under the window in the backyard. Nothing else would have left them there. I was SO angry at her. I know it's instinct for a cat, but I am so upset with her, everytime I look at her I start bawling and feel like yelling at her. I've never been angry with my cat, so this is a weird emotion for me to experience towards my cat. I almost feel like I hate her right now. The thought of her doing what my husband told me just makes me never want to even pet her again. I hope I get past that, we've had her 9 years and she is very needy and spoiled. Right now, I don't even want her in my house. Anyway, no more bunnies. I am so sad, I can hardly stop crying. What will the mama do when she discovers they are gone? I feel so heartbroken for her!
