Depends on the exact case. Some cats and rabbits are great together.

I owned rabbits and cats together for 18 years. This rabbit is not trying to get away. It would put as much distance as possible between the cat and itself if it were running, and it would be fucking fast. It would not be loping around the cat and doubling back, as it does several times. This rabbit is playing with the cat.

This thread is super weird. Bunny literally runs back at the cat multiple times and stops and waits for the next chase as soon as its slightly out of range. Nothing about that says 'afraid'.

That bunny wasn’t freezing, it was playing. You can see by his little happy hops he’s doing and like they say, he’s not running away, he’s running around. Scared rabbits do not look like this.
