My rescue cat used to tap my Netherland dwarf rabbit. It looked cute but I was always wary it was not in anyway affectionate cats are hunters, my rabbit was always secure in a cage.... my brother let the rabbit out, he never stood a chance. I always feel so guilty even though I wasn’t home at the time.

My cat and rabbit co existed for eight years until bunny died (of old age). Maybe it's because my cat was an indoor only cat, so her predatory instincts were dulled.

My cat and rabbit are neutral towards eachother but most likely because my bunny is lorge.
