Rabbits—Kit prefers calling then bunnies—are peaceful happy little creatures.  I’ve trained wild ones to eat carrots. Kit and I enjoy watching them in our yard. The photo is of one eating a carrot I placed near cover.

Unfortunately, rabbits are at the top of every predator’s meal preferences. Our semi-pets often disappear without any trace probably due to foxes or coyotes. More grisly, we find their mangled and partially devoured carcasses due to hawks or owls.

Everyday Kit and I are deluged with tricks trying to take our money. Some are outright scams like the ones which email, “Your purchase has shipped,” or “Pay now to avoid a penalty.“  Others from legal businesses try to stimulate fear or hope. Then they deliver unneeded or worthless services. I once lost a lot of money due to false claims by a Fortune 500 company highly recommended by consensus of security rating services. Nobody went to jail and I recovered only a few dollars in the ensuing lawsuit.

Kit has taken to reminding me, “YOU are the bunny,” advice she readily applies to herself.  All of us, especially seniors, are prudent to beware of predators.
