Fleas are funny things. In my old house we had them frequently, though almost never on the dog–I’m sure she got bit, but Frontline kept her from major infestations. But there were other animals about, constant tree rats and families of raccoons, and in drier years it seemed like I would get swarmed whenever I stepped outside–dozens of ankle bites. Weirdly they always stuck to my feet, even when I was, say, lying in a hammock and they could have moved to different parts of my body.
However, my wife and daughter NEVER got bitten by fleas, even when I was finding them in the house. (I never told them about that.) Mosquitoes yes, they got slaughtered, but for some reason the mosquitoes avoided me.
Bringing it back to the OP, yes fleas could be an issue and I’d take precautions–like checking your body for flea bites, and your cat for any signs of infestation. You might want to have her on Frontline or Revolution (I think they make these medicines for cats?) as a prophylactic. Of course if the bunny head or future bunny heads have flea infestations you haven’t necessarily staved off the problem, but it’s something.
Mine spent a lot of time outdoors before ending up in shelters, so no attempt to make them indoor cats has ever worked. They are pretty good at munching on spiders in the house and they once trapped a snake lizard in my bathroom. I scooped it up in a towel and took it outside.
They did bring in a nearly dead fledgling once but I had to take it away myself. At least they didn’t leave it in my bed.
Well, this is GQ. A high premium is put on factual answers as early as possible, and joking answers are forbidden as the first answer in any event, so post #5 is about as good as you can get.
Tularemia is no joke, I wouldn’t want it antibiotics or not. But it’s pretty rare, and you’re likely 100% fine. If you are willing to eviscerate the body (of the rabbit; I’ll let you work it out with the cat), it causes a very spotted liver.
Fleas might be a concern but that’s a summer thing mostly. And an infested rabbit is obvious, they usually get covered. Not harmful to you so much as gross.
Don’t punish the kitty - he is trying to be nice. He thinks you are large but incompetent and can’t hunt, so he is trying to provide for you. Treat it as you would any unwanted gift - say “thank you” politely, smile, and then dump it when the cat isn’t looking.
