Cabbits
Comment: I know there's no such thing as a real cat/rabbit hybrid known as a cabbit or carabit. But, I'm talking with my mom and she tells me her boss knows someone who owns one, and she wouldn't listen to my mom when she told her, it wasn't possible, because she saw it with her own eyes. The reining theory so far is, someone got duped into buying some odd looking animal under the pretense it was a cabbit. The discrption my mom was given was, a cat's head, with rabbit ears, and the hind legs/tail of a rabbit. Which has lead to internet searches galore trying to figure out WHAT exactly this thing really is. We haven't found a picture of a manx cat that looked rabbitty, enough. And our prevailing theory is a Jerboa. Any other ideas of an animal that could be passed off as a cabbit?

My nieces have a cat that they swear is a cabbit. The oldest graduated from college with honors, so you would think she would know better.
Theirs is a small cat with very short legs. It seems to hop rather than run.

Manx often have very rabbit-like characteristics, particularly the ones that have a tuft of fur in place of the missing vertebrae. They also often have back and hip issues that give them a gait that is sort of a hop.

I didn't even think of a chilla, I used to own one, and my description for those who didn't know what i was talking about was "well, they look like someone crossed a giant mouse, a rabbit and a squirrel." which may possibly be why I didn't think of it...
And the funny looking cat theory keeps coming up (manx and munchkins) but some part of me wants to believe that people aren't THAT stupid.

Cabbit anyone?
 yes I know it's totally shopped.  ETA: I'd totally get one of these if someone was selling them!
