"You ain't never caught a rabbit and you ain't no friend of mine"

I understand that Elvis is using the term "hound dog" as a metaphor, but exactly how far is he taking this metaphor? Does he actually want his girlfriend to go out and catch rabbits? Given what we now know about Elvis, does this possibly even sound that far-fetched?

Just asking.

Elvis is hungry, babe. If you can't catch a rabbit, maybe you could fry up a mess of greens, or make him a sandwich?

Awesome reply.

Isn't this a moot point since Elvis didn't write the song?

Could be it's, y'know, actually about a dog.
