Saved a baby rabbit from the cats - but now it died

I heard a squeak outside my window so I went outside to investigate. Two of the neighborhood cats were across the street chasing a little rabbit around on the lawn. It ran out on the street towards my house so I went out and scared the cats off, grabbed the rabbit, and brought it inside.
It seems uninjured, just a little fur missing. I've got it in a cage right now with a dish of water and it looks like it's going to sleep. What can I feed it? Would cat chow softened with water be OK until I can get to the pet store?

Once, men turned their thinking over to machines in the hope that this would set them free. But that only permitted other men with machines to enslave them.

Try feeding it some lettuce and carrots. Cute little guy. Kudos to you for intervening.
Sometimes when I'm out back I'll hear a cat screeching like it's being hurt... it just makes a guy's heart sink in his chest. Don't know if it's stupid humans or raccoons.

I'd go with something simple. Perhaps a light breading and a cream sauce?
Just kidding. =)
Good job on the rescue. And yeah, they adore lettice and carrots and such. If you don't want to keep it, I'd put a flyer up at the local convenience stores, supermarkets, etc. Don't forget to include details on how you came to own it. People love a good back story. Especially when it involves being saved from the jaws of death.

I believe carrots give baby rabbits the runs. Just feed it some greens until tomorrow. If your keeping it, bring it to the vet for a check up and get the right info on nutrition and such.

Good call. Feed it. Grow it. Eat it.
Rabbit stew is delicious, it will be like having a pet lobster.

Ah, sorry about the bad info on feed. I should have noted it was speculation.

No prissy cat I've ever known is going to catch a rabbit with the runs, though.
At that point you start calling it an Octopus.
Cat won't see shit.

I'm sure wild rabbits eat whatever the fuck they feel like eating.... that is only what they suggest for pet rabbits..
