A woman was shocked when her pet cat returned home with a live rabbit in its jaws.<br /><br />Louise, 33, had just woken up from a lie-in when she found her eight-year-old rescue pet Gizmo with a bunny in his mouth. <br /><br />Louise first thought it was a teddy bear but quickly realised it was in fact a live rabbit.<br /><br />Video shows Gizmo holding the rabbit by the scruff of its neck in his mouth - the same way cats carry their kittens.<br /><br />Louise, who lives in Fife, Scotland, said: "It's not the first time Gizmo's brought something back. <br /><br />"He's brought back birds and mice before but never a rabbit!<br /><br />"I think you can hear me start panicking as soon as I realised it was a live animal, telling Gizmo off."<br /><br />As Gizmo ran downstairs, he dropped the rabbit under the sofa, which is when Louise was able to grab her pet cat and put him outside.<br /><br />Unsure of what to do next, she called the Scottish Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SSPCA) for their advice on how to proceed.<br /><br />Louise said: "They said to just keep the rabbit safe and keep an eye on it for a couple hours and let it go if it was still alive.<br /><br />"I wrapped the rabbit up in a blanket and put it into a basket in my house for a couple hours.<br /><br />"It looked fine, so I let it go in a nearby grassy area like the SSPCA suggested.<br /><br />"When he first came back in, Gizmo was looking for the rabbit in the last place he saw it.<br /><br />"After a while, he just forgot and I'm sure he's on to the next, smaller target."
