It is a reference to "Of Mice and Men", the character Lenny in the book is mentally challenged and has trouble understanding how strong he is. Lenny, literally, pets things to death which is why the "toon" being petted in the gag always has that scared look!
Warner Bros. has used this bet in a few Loony Toons, not just with Bugs.

had a prof who theorized that the note 'bunny' grew to develop into commonplace as a more effective polite substitute for 'coney' which rhymed with bunny on the time, and also regrettably sounded an undesirable lot like an fairly impolite note for a lady's genitals. So those who would have suggested 'coney' needed yet another note that did no longer have that affiliation, and all started utilising 'rabbit' and 'bunny' as a substitute, and 'coney' regularly fell out of use (even if you nonetheless locate it the following and there, eg. contained in the Lord of the earrings). same variety of idea with poultry and **** - except cockfighting, human beings have a tendency to favor the time period poultry now that '****' is commonplace in its different meaning.

I believe it refers to a line in "Of Mice and Men" - a film from John Steinbeck's novel. Lennie (simple minded) wants to keep a dead mouse and his brother won't let him.
