Rabbit saving a cat If this is the situation. It likely is not. The cat looks very young, also it was clearly not measuring anything, it was just slowly patting the bunny through the hole as it dug.
I have three male cats, they are house cats, but still cats. When something new and strange comes up ( a bunny, a squirrel, a skunk), they are EXTREAMLY careful about what they are doing, they go into pure stocking mode to figure it out. This just isn’t the case here, the cat is calm, collected, not worried, not threatened. It’s more likely they are familiar with each other. Also at the same time. You are completely correct, cats will kill small things for fun/training/sport, but will measure when not in desperation mode. That bunny was almost three times that cats size, that’s threatening for sure. So perhaps. Perhaps not. some one commented like this.
