Rat loves Rabbit

Lilly the rat and Lucy (short for Lucifur): Their Lovestory. Generally they ignore each other, until this day...
This video was made to fit Unchained Melody but a third party claimed it without even telling me they took my vid down. It doesn't make as much sense without it.

Rats and rabbits are related, both being rodents, and neither is carnivorous, so it doesn't surprise me that they might get along. Much more surprising is a cat nearby, since rabbits and rats are potential dinner and lunch to an obligate carnivore like a cat. But maybe any animals can live together if they grow up together.

@Mxsmanic Thanks for watching, Mxsmanic. They actually didn't grow up together, one of the cats was about 13 in this video and used to be an outdoor cat where she would hunt and all that...but they all know better than to go after one of our own! And rabbits are commonly confused with rodents but they are actually lagomorphs. Weird word right? They are similar to rodents though, they both have ever-growing teeth and an inability to vomit, for example.

its nice that your cat isnt harassing your little ones....

[dzemergency]

@24yue It's usually they other way around, as you can see here rats can be pushy!

i've never seen a cat walk past a rat and not try to have it for lunch. sometimes it amazes me how different species of animals can get along better than we can as humans.

[dzemergency]

@heymissstina, the calico used to eat little amminals outside when she was an outdoor cat, but she knows the difference between food and family. Sometimes she stares at my little ones with a look that says "I wish I could gnaw on you but I know better." Talk about respect and self-restraint! : ) Perhaps some killers and rapists should take a page out of her booK!

@mxsmanic rats and rabbits are two totally different species in the wild there are enemies beleive it or not rats will eat a rabbit if hungry enough also the rabbit is in the leporidae family rats are in the muroidea family I own a rat and a rabbit i highly suggest keeping them from eachother but rats are naturally curious so the rat might harrass the rabbit so yeah

@dzemergency my rat actually has mycoplasma right now..poor little thing. She's rolling over and over again, so sad. Thank Goodness being an RN I checked the treating medication and was able to calculate the dosage according to weight...the vets here charge $60 just to see your rat...ugh.

[blessedmommy73]

@dzemergency LOL! I would LOVE to have an inability to vomit, AND I would love for others to also have the inability to vomit..being a mom and a nurse..lol

[blessedmommy73]

@Mxsmanic the only time I have seen a cat eating an animal are feral cats...and even then, I have only seen them eating dead things..only once, they caught a mouse. None of my cats, even ones who went outside never ate animals , thank God, because I don't think I would ever let them back in the house! lol

umm...?

[jypsyjulia]

@Mxsmanic Actually, rabbits aren't rodents and rats, while not carnivorous, are omnivores and it's recommended you feed them some meet occasionally. That being said (lol!) this is still a super stinkin' cute video and makes me want to go play with my rats NAO, lol :)
