I should pass on this story: a friend gave us all giant plushie microbes for Christmas one year; I got malaria. I threw it on the floor experimentally and Abbey the Pookie immediately adopted it as her "baby". She carries it around in her mouth and tries to pull it's little pants off. Every once in a while she'll keen over it, like she's distressed it's not moving. It's quite amazing -- never seen her do anything like it before or since.
Sachi hasn't keened, but she does get a little upset when she accidentally squeezes any of her babies loud enough to make the squeakers squeak. She'll immediately drop the critter and nose it several times, like she's checking it over to make sure it's okay.
At least in that regard, I figured the bunny was probably unharmed, so long as it was Sachi who brought it inside -- and it wasn't a situation of her taking the bunny away from the cat (in which case, the bunny wouldn't have survived).
Still, I really wish I'd been looking towards the dog door when the bunny arrived, to know the precise details of how it joined us!

Animals. Quirky, but (and?) ya gotta love 'em.
