razorbladeki5s Posted December 30, 2005 #1 Share Posted December 30, 2005 There is a long-standing myth that cats and rabbits can produce offspring which are half-cat, half-rabbit and which are therefore called cabbits. The classic version of the myth goes thus: Anyone who owns rabbits will know that they are incredibly cute, but not exactly exciting or affectionate and their housetraining can leave much to be desired. A company in America has developed a hybrid animal which, they claim, combines the best qualities of both the rabbit and the cat: cute, affectionate, active and very, very clean. Male rabbits are famed for their willingness to attempt sex with any female animal of approximately the same size, regardless of whether it is a rabbit or not. By coincidence, cats and rabbits share the same number of chromosomes and a similar gestation period. In addition, female cats will happily raise the young of other species alongside their own kittens. All of these factors have combined to help animal breeders develop a brand new pet. Called a "racat" (although some breeders are pushing for the more attractive term of "cabbit") the animal can be ordered from almost any large pet store but may take some time to arrive in stock due to the almost legendary laid-back natures of both the cat and the rabbit.

lkayn Posted December 31, 2005 #15 Share Posted December 31, 2005 My friends rabbit is male, and her cat is female, and the rabbit always attempts to mate with the cat. Its quite funny to watch really...And then he tries with the female dog, but the dogs to big, so it moves back to the cat... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
......................... Posted December 31, 2005 #16 Share Posted December 31, 2005 Somehow I don't think it would work. For a cat to ovulate the male's 'member' needs to be barbed. Don't ask me how I know this information... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zandore Posted December 31, 2005 #24 Share Posted December 31, 2005 CABBITS - WHAT ARE THEY? Copyright 1999 - 2005, Sarah Hartwell I've had a lot of enquiries from people asking where they can buy a cabbit. They have read two of my articles and misunderstood the information about cabbits. Those who have mailed me thought I was saying that there really are creatures which are part cat and part rabbit. Some even thought I was breeding cabbits or that I knew cabbit-breeders who would sell them a cabbit. Here's what I actually wrote:- Cabbit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
