Move 34s, take the rabbit not the cat. I think that was you worst mistake after 31s when you had the best position. After 34s your fate was pretty much sealed.

Exactly the same at exactly the same time I have commented the game :).

What about the potential winning move on 38s of dog to b2, rabbit to a3?

Nice catch. I cannot see a defense.

According to my bot that's a goal in 2, no defense.

Thanks for all the help.

I now realize that advanced rabbits are worth far more than cats in the endgame.
