To ask for an explanation for wtf just happened? **MNHQ UPDATE: Mystery solved!**

[WeirdlyKind]

I'm seriously creeped out and can't figure out a rational explanation so I'm hoping someone can!

Sitting in the kitchen, eating dinner when a black shape ran past my legs, close enough that I felt it pass. Figured it was my cat at first but when I stood up, she was sitting on the windowsill!

The dark shape ran into the living room where my partner is (he saw it too, because he shouted me!)

It apparently jumped on the sideboard and vanished in front of his eyes. There's nowhere it could go - the sideboard is solid oak on a solid stone wall.

The dog is now going mental at the sideboard like there's something there (if there is, we can't find it!)

I'm genuinely creeped out - anyone have a rational explanation? What the hell did we see?

Aww this took a wonderfully unexpected turn 😍

That’s fantastic! How cute is that bunny. One of the best thread updates I’ve ever seen, OP.

Phew! Such a Cute rabbit and I'm so relieved it wasn't a rat.
Glad the mystery is solved and I cannot believe you were sat watching tv with a potential ghost/rat in the house!!!

Wow, I had no idea rabbits were so fast!

My money was on a rat too. IME if you think you see something but it's too fast to be sure, it's always a rat!

😂😂😂😂😂

100% thought it was a ghost cat! Glad you came to update

@WeirdlyKind

Would a rat be able to jump onto a side board though? It's quite tall! I'd rather have a rat than a ghost I think.

Can't see anything behind the sideboard and it's too heavy to move!

I once saw a rat jump on a kitchen counter and out a window. I'm sure this is what it is, I used to occasionally get them run through in a flat I lived in years ago when they'd been a lot of rain xx

Awww, that's much nicer than a rat, OP

Omg this is the best thread ever! I'm so happy 🤣

Ah, that’s brilliant 🤩, what a cutie! Best “ghost” thread ever!

Aah I was coming to vote for ghost cat but I see you the mystery has now been solved! What a cutie

I'll absolutely take a rabbit over a rat any day!

@Jellykat

Altogether now.. Theres a rat in my kitchen, what am i gonna do?

Rats

Very lucky your terrier didn’t get the rabbit, OP!

That is one weird looking ghost cat!

Joking aside, I've got a healthy respect for the biting capabilities of rabbits after watching one take a "nibble" of a cable years ago and poof, it was severed! Good job the bunny didn't do any nibbling behind your TV unit!

Great thread

I spent the whole thread getting anxious, winding myself up, looking around the living room waiting for a rat to run out at me. So glad it's a rabbit, I already have one of those skipping around the living room so feeling a lot calmer now 😂

It’s a mouse

@AtlasPine

What a difference a few scraps of generic material makes. A rabbit is totally different from a rat. Cute and sweet and pick-uppable rather than nasty and repulsive and disgusting. Funny isn’t it!

Very pleased it was a bunny.

Hey we have pet rats and I can assure you out of all the animals we have owned, rabbits included, our rats are the best! Loving and very very clever. Wouldn't want to meet a wild one though!

This was brilliant

Phew

Do check all of the visible wiring in the living room as bunnies love to bite through cables!!

Definitely a mouse.

Just seen it was a rabbit!!

I'm glad he went into yours! Imagine his poor owners thinking he was lost! Rabbits are nosy buggers, I can imagine mine sneaking into the neighbours house for a poke around
