Okay, I know this is a weird question, but is it safe to eat a rabbit that our cat caught? He caught a huge one today and my mom wanted to cook it, but we couldn't since the thought occurred to her a few hours after she threw it in the trash. If the next time our cat catches a rabbit, the rabbit is cleaned and cooked thoroughly, is it safe to eat it? Will any bacteria from the cat bite be killed in the cooking process?

No! You have no idea whether it was healthy or not!0

Isn't that the same with normal hunting though?0 -

If you go shoot it, you dont know that either so I don't see your point.
OP, I'd check with the game warden of your area. They should be aware of any diseases running through the rabbit population and could potentially give better insight.

If a wild rabbit could not outrun a cat, it may be sickly or old; neither condition would portend a favorable outcome for cooking. The good news is that wild rabbit is rather nutritious and there already is a non-asterisked entry in the food database.

I agree. We had a declawed cat and he would regularly bring home game. He brought me two chipmunks in once during the middle of the day, both live. Luckily, the dog caught and killed them or they'd still be in the house.

This is why I don't have cats. :sick:0 -
Wild rabbits are a treat. But the term large that was used by the OP makes me suspect it was a domestic rabbit that someone may have lost or let go. They normally dont do well in the wild because they dont fear predators. Hence being caught by a cat.0

The above post says "Rabbit - wild raw" I know that you can, t eat it raw, does the nutritional facts change on foods when they are cooked? If so, why do they list the values on it raw. If it does not change then why add the word raw to the title, why not add the word cooked?0

The values change when cooked, and they change depending on the way you cooked them. Meat loses water (and some fat) when cooked, but how much it will lose depends on whether you boiled, grilled, fried, etc. Weighing any and all types of meat raw is much more accurate than using their cooked weight.0
