That's fully grown? Wow. I've never heard of a brush rabbit before. He's the cutest thing. Looks like one of our baby bunnies. Thank God the cat didn't eat him!

Looks like the sagebrush pygmy rabbits from the east side of the Cascades. One of the few critters that climb the wall surrounding my garden (have to chase them out from time to time when they start on my flowering plants). I hear they are getting scarce in some areas.

What a cutie. Are they usually tame enough to hold? Or did the shock of being a present have something to do with it?

That was my first thought , but I knew we are out of their range. At first I thought it was a cottontail baby, but tail is totally different. Plus the fact that he is a fully developed male. |

Maybe their range has shifted as it has become warmer and drier? We're up against the east side of the Cascades. There is some sagebrush, but not the big sagebrush they favor. Used to see only jackrabbits and occasional cottontails. |

Not to be a Debbie Downer or nothing, but I am seriously wondering why your kind hearted cat didn't kill it. It is cute, maybe that was it.

Tela, I don’t know why the cat didn’t kill it.
Our cat brings us gifts frequently. However, if the critter fights, she(cat) won’t let go. If critter is still, cat will drop it at our feet.
Maybe the bunny was very still. Smart bunny!
