Rabbit's Kin is a 1952 Merrie Melodies short directed by Robert McKimson, starring Bugs Bunny. This short also marks the debut of a new antagonist for Bugs, Pete Puma. Though this is his sole "Golden Age" appearance, Pete would go on to become a semi-recurring character in the franchise, making appearances in numerous future iterations and a second theatrical short, Pullet Surprise in 1997, in which he's paired with Foghorn Leghorn.In this short, Bugs meets a young unnamed rabbit (dubbed "Shorty" by him) who warns him of a ferocious beast that tried to eat them. Bugs realizes said "ferocious beast" is the dimwitted Pete Puma, and decides to help the young rabbit out while having some "fun" with Pete while he's at it. | |

Immediate Self-Contradiction | |
| Rabbit's Kin / int_23330a99 | comment |
Immediate Self-Contradiction: Bugs tells Pete he should take him instead of the young rabbit, convincing the puma to grab him by the hand. Bugs immediately slaps Pete, offended the puma would try and touch him unprompted. | |

The Unintelligible | |
| Rabbit's Kin / int_32821ceb | comment |
The Unintelligible: Played With regarding Shorty. They actually are speaking English, provided by Mel Blanc, it's just sped up to the point where it's sort of hard to make out without slowing the audio down. Bugs conveniently repeats abbreviated versions of what they said. | |

| Rabbit's Kin / int_393da8a1 | comment |
Secret Message Wink: Shorty pleads for Bugs not to let them go with their "mother" (Pete in disguise), but Bugs makes it clear he knows the guise and intends on giving Pete another workout this way, convincing Shorty to go along. | |

Paper-Thin Disguise | |
| Rabbit's Kin / int_48b9731f | comment |
Paper-Thin Disguise: Notable in that for once, it's Bugs's foe that actually tries to pull this off, claiming to be Shorty's mother. Neither Bugs nor Shorty are fooled. Bugs himself does this in his usual fashion at the end, claiming to be Pete's cousin Paul Puma. Pete doesn't realize it's him until he asks for some lumps (of coal). | |

Crazy-Prepared: The second time Bugs tries to offer Pete some lumps, Pete reveals he decided to wear an Acme stove lid, protecting him from Bugs’s mallet. However, Bugs has an Acme stove lid remover he uses to take it off and cause the lumps to appear as he intended. | |

Too Dumb to Live: Pete manages to prevent Bugs from clobbering him for a third time, claiming he'll get the lumps himself... and he then proceeds to start hitting himself on the head repeatedly. | |

Exact Words | |
| Rabbit's Kin / int_e9e35e8f | comment |
Exact Words: Bugs will always give Pete some "lumps" when he wants them. Also, when he gives Pete 5 lumps instead of 4 like he asked, he takes a tiny hammer and pounds one of the lumps in until only 4 are left. | |

Brick Joke: Pete gives Bugs an exploding cigar at the beginning, which Bugs decides to save for later. After a spot of tea with Pete which ends in Bugs giving him some Cranial Eruptions, he promptly gives him the cigar. | |
