Pocket Protector

A user on Reddit rescued a baby cottontail rabbit and kept it safe until it could live on its own — but not before sharing this adorable video of the baby bun snug in a shirt pocket. Here’s the story:

Baby rabbit tucked into a shirt pocket

Feifel and his siblings were living in a nest in our backyard. I didn’t notice them until one of our dogs got hold of a baby rabbit. I decided to take care of him until he was strong enough to be released.

The bond I had with this little bunny was unreal — he would lay on my chest and watch TV with me every night. I noticed that he would make these little clicking/grinding noises with his mouth and when I looked up what that meant, it’s apparently something rabbits do when they’re comfortable and content. I literally sobbed when I let him go. It was wild the emotions I felt for this little creature.

Be sure to read the Reddit comments for more pictures of Feifel! (via Andrew Y.)

Maru’s Need to Knead

While Hana and Kitten Miri enjoy the simple pleasures, Maru is driven by the urge to knead his pillow until it’s flat as a dishrag.

Weekend Open Thread

Welcome to Caturday! Today’s guest, courtesy of reader Susan H., is a big boy taking a whole seat to himself:

We’ve had Julius the orange bobtail for just over a year now, and he’s grown into a big (16 pounds!) loveable goofball. He does occasionally get his turn with the brain cell — he’s very good about coming home when we call him, and he’ll sit on command! Every morning, he tries to keep me from leaving for work by posing like this when I say goodbye to him.
