    Plectranthus caninus = Piss Off plant

    The Piss Off plant is reputed to repel cats, dogs and rabbits.

    It was developed in Germany when a Plectranthus canina plant was crossed with a Plectranthus esculentus plant.

    Cats, dogs, and rabbits won't go near it. I can confirm it, I had such plants.

    We have a cat that kills everything, just this week she killed two bunnies, one chipmunk, and one mouse. Oh and she prefers to eat the brains first so we are thinking she is a zombie cat. No one wants to cuddle with her I wonder why. Needless to say we don't have a bunny problem for our square foot garden.

    Default Bunnies make great pets

    Think seriously about adopting that wild bunny as a pet,has God sent him to you for a reason ??--I had a bunny hanging around my yard and decided to adopt it rather than dropping him off at the humane society,and yes he is potty trained and has the run of the house while I am at work.


    I,m a fool for Christ,whose fool are you ???

    I hear that they can be litter box trained like a cat.

    You need to bury the fence wire about 12 inches, with the bottom edge slightly curled to the outside. Or you can add electricity to your existing fence by insulating the fence posts and running a single wire above the mesh fence.

    Online is a site that can tell you everything to have a rabbit as a house pet
    http://www.rabbitnetwork.org/

    They make awesome pets ,are unique and are the 3rd largest pet owned after dogs and cats followed closely by birds.They make NO noise and are so very cute with personalities so deep you will wonder why anyone puts them in a cage after you,ve owned one for awhile.Mine is 100% potty trained in pee,and 90% trained with #2(I don,t know if you can ever have 100% due their physical structure.I,ve had dogs and cats b4 but this little boy of mine is the best pet I,ve ever owned.

    If you had a rabbit it could hork up carrot salad.

    We have two cats that work together keeping my yard rabbit free, one makes friends with them while the other set in wait. After they both enjoy a nice dinner.

    Pfffft -- Our cats hardly chase anything on the place much anymore. All critters on our place live pretty much in harmony, it's kind of funny. We have squirrels, rabbits, groundhogs, buzzards, cats, even saw a snake the other day on the road out front of our place. DH said one day he looked out front and there were the cats, lounging around the "accidental pond" (low place in the front yard that catches water), and rabbits frisking nearby in the early morning sun, cats just LOOKING at them. He said it looked like a scene around an African watering hole with a pride of lions or something. The buzzards will come and sit by the accidental pond, too, and sit there for HOURS. The groundhogs are a bit more wary when we're outside, but they pay no mind to the cats, and they just munch away on the grass, clover, blackberry bushes, and kudzu. Squirrels skip through the trees without a care in the world. It's kinda neat.
