Ive nerver eaten this but it is a very good recipe for someone who dont like rabbit. One could NEVER taste the rabbit w/ all the 'additives'.

REDTAIL- I understand your pain-cats vs rabbits.

I suspect with all the tuff added in the above recipe just subsistute the cat for the rabbit and no one will know. You will be doing the world a favor by getting rid of the ferals, the biggest killers of everything live, a going.

ferrl cats

I broke my wrist OCT 1 . Haven't been able to cock my airgun. Have a real squirrel problem this year they got in my shed and Garage. I wanted to collect 6 and make squirrel and dumplings. Something I read about here. So I go outside and jump the cat. Haven't seen a squirrel in days. No dumplings for me.

Cats feral or not are a real pain here in the UK as well. Just wander over everyone elses property but there own, killing anything and everything they can. With regard to sudden loss of rabbits, do you have Rabbit Haemerragic Disease in the USA ?? We have it over here in the UK. You can have hundreds of rabbits one day and 48hrs latter nothing but a few youngsters hopping about and the dead ones stay underground. Apparently very young rabbits can survive, but it literally wipes out a whole colony overnight. We have been used to Myxy since the early 50s but this is a relatively new killer. Ferreting for rabbits in winter is a favourite day out for me.
