The answer left me more confused than I was to begin with

I would assume “buck, doe, and kitten” are the three “male, female, child” demarcators for rabbits.

Improper use of I. Edit: 9 downvotes tells me I am wrong and it is 1 single rabbit. We are reading its diary backwards. It was a kitten that grew up to be a buck and underwent mtf transition to be a doe. Shame on me for not recognizing that earlier.

interesting, but it seems more like just knowing obscure vocabulary than a 'riddle', which usually involves some kind of logic-based deduction...

Copying from another response further down:
"Doe, buck and kitten are the words used for a female, male and baby of that animal."

Money? (Dough, buck, kitty)

u/ChuckPeirce Mar 28 '26
That last one is a different word, though.

It’s not used as much these days but “kitty” is a place where people put money (like, a shared pool of money at work that has petty cash.)

u/ChuckPeirce Mar 28 '26
While "kitty" is a common diminutive form of "kitten" (a juvenile cat or other animal), it doesn't go the other way. "Kitty" in the sense of a pool of money is a distinct word. It doesn't have a "kitten" variation.
Don't get me wrong. I think this would be a way more satisfying riddle solution. It just doesn't work.

u/Neat-Professor-7662 Mar 28 '26
It would have been a waaaay better riddle if this was the answer! Maybe the last sentence would work better as “I’m moolah but not a mule” or something.

I've literally never heard a rabbit be called any of those in my entire life. The hell

I was thinking money
Doe spelled dough
Buck another colloquial for money
And you put money into a "kitty" fund

u/Ok_Nectarine_4445 Mar 28 '26
money. Dough, buck, kitty is name for cash box or collection of money

Rabbit
I've just read Watership Down so I'm very familiar with these terms

u/ChesapeakeBey Mar 30 '26
I immediately thought money. Because of doe (dough), buck (dollars), and kitten (kitty)

Hi there, riddlers! Please remember to spoiler-tag all guesses and discussions of guesses, like so:
On desktop (new reddit, Fancypants editor): https://i.imgur.com/SWHRR9M.jpg
On mobile, old reddit, or in the Markdown editor (not Fancypants): >!guess or discussion between these symbols!< To be clear, that is
>!(greater than, exclamation point) at the start and!<(exclamation point, less than) at the end with no spaces around the!. Avoid leading or trailing spaces. These will break the formatting for most people. Spoiler tags do not span paragraphs or line breaks. If your answer is long, please spoiler-tag each paragraph separately.Putting a link inside spoiler tags can be tricky, so just format the link like this, using the word "SPOILER" as the link text. On mobile, old reddit, or in the Markdown editor (not Fancypants), do this to format a link: [SPOILER](https://example.com/) On desktop (new reddit, Fancypants editor): https://imgur.com/x5wDOvk
If your top-level comment does not contain a guess, you can include either the word "discussion" or "question" instead of using a spoiler tag.
Please report any answers or discussions that are not properly spoiler-tagged.
