The cabbit is a creature of legend with the front half of a cat and the hind legs and tail of a rabbit. The term "cabbit" is a portmanteau of "cat" and "rabbit".
The cat-rabbit hybrid creature was first documented by Joseph Train, stating that cabbits were the product of matings between female cats and buck rabbits. The exact year of coinage of the term "cabbit" is uncertain, but it was used in 1977 to describe a specimen found in New Mexico and exhibited in Los Angeles.
Cabbit is also a term that has been applied to half cat, half rabbit creatures in anime. It is derived from the words "cat" and "rabbit," a mixture used by fans to describe Ryo-Ohki in the series Tenchi Muyo (although the term is never used within the series).
