[edit] THERE ARE TOO CABBITS !
This is completly false and misinformative. I have seen packs of up to 7 or 8 of them in Los Angeles. Located behind a Kentucky Fried Chicken drive-thru located on Slauson and Crenshaw. They are indeed cats, with the rear ends of rabbits. They hop away when approached, but will meow for chicken or bones that people reguarly feed them.
The storyline behind this mutation is the old man that raised rabbits in a large hutch directly across the alley behind KFC. When he died and before the house was sold the rabbits were released. As far back as I can remember there have always been cats in that area. Now being of sound mind I am aware of the problems encountered if a sexually matured cat tried to mate with a rabbit. It is allegedly impossible. However some sort of cross mutation has definetly occured there.
These are larger rabbits, bigger than average housecats, that could easily fend off an attack even from several cats. It was almost a daily lunch activity with myself and coworkers to feed the cabbits bits of chicken and bones from our car windows during our lunchbreaks. They have larger heads than most cats, cat ears, a cat face and upper body, but are entirely rabbit from the back. Complete with a bunny tail and powerful legs which enables them to hop as opposed to the slink like gait we are all familiar with exhibited bt felines. It pisses me off to constantly read how self proclaimed experts dont believe what they cant explain or have never seen. I suppose next someone will say what we fed for years was nothing more than a weather balloon, or lights from a star in space.
Though I now reside in Pennsylvania, I'm considering calling a buddy back in South Central L.A, to photograph or videocam them if they are still in that area and post it on my Paranormal website. LOADED PARANORMAL
[edit] Article re-organiztion
It looks like this article should be re-organized into 2 sections: one about the "real" cabbit, and one about the fictional cabbit in anime. Also, there should be a source for cabbits in anime, as I've never heard of the term in my life. Viltris 21:39, 5 August 2006 (UTC)
- I agree. Until a source can be cited to back up the claims of the fictional cabbit, I'm going to remove this from the article. If it is a commonly used term, it would have more hits on google. Timbatron 19:23, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Cabbits may be bread via artificial insemination.
January 18th, 2005 a non-profit organization called All Wildlife Rescue and Education, Inc. (AWRE), reports a Cabbit birth in one of it's facilities.[2] AWRE is a non-profit organization devoted to rescuing, retrieving, medically evaluating and treating, rehabilitating and releasing the animals back into their natural habitat (when safe for the animal).

A few years ago, a good buddy of mine and I were working late into the night with an in vitro fertilization experiment and in the process I confused the container with the rabbit sperm with the container holding the cat sperm and accidentally fertilized a cat ova with rabbit sperm. The Cabbit is the results of said mistake. Cabot the Cabbit was raised with cats and pretty much thinks of himself as a cat despite the facial characteristics and the rear-leg locomotion of a rabbit and when startled he does hop off in quite a hurry. His temperament is that of a pussycat, sweet, adorable and is happiest while curled in a warm lap and if the owner of that lap is willing to brush Cabot, you'll have a friend forever

Also I noticed under the hybrid sections it says "Male rabbits have smooth penises and are not able to cause a female cat to ovulate. Thus, even when copulation takes place, there would be no egg to fertilize". This theory goes to the wash when taking into account in vitro fertilization and the use of a Teaser Tom, or a male cat who has been sterilized surgically by vasectomy by a veterinarian, to induce ovulation.[3]

The AWRE article used a commonly circulating fake image with a hoax cover story. Either AWRE ran it as a joke or they were taken in by it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 20.133.0.8 (talk) 07:28, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
