Bunnies and Cats Do Not Mix - Keep Them Separate

You, most times, cannot raise rabbits and cats at the same time unless you plan to keep the rabbits in cages. So decide which of these you want to have as pets and stick to the one. Why do I say you should not raise rabbits and cats? Well, they are pretty much natural enemies even if your cat looks lovingly at the little bunny, you need to remember that the cat is a cat and the rabbit is a rodent. It is simple as that.

You would not put a cat and mouse in the same room if they were both loose, correct? Well, you would if you wanted the cat to have a mouse meal or if you were looking to catch the mouse, but as pets, you would not want to raise these in the same room or same area.

Even if the bunny is inside a cage, you have a good chance of having the cat find the bunny out of the cage one day and that is the end of the bunny. Yes, in the past, bunnies have gotten out of the cages and cats have caught them. (I have not had this experience myself but I know of someone who had the experience). Trust me with this one, do not raise bunnies and cats or kittens in the same space.

If you insist that you must have both at the same time, try this:

1. Have your bunny outdoors in a hutch-type environment.

2. Keep the cat indoors.

3. You can help the bunny stay warm in winter by putting the hutch very close to the house to block the great winds and bad weather. You can use tarps to partially block the wind or use blocks of hay to block the wind.

That is about the only way to safely raise a bunny and cat at the same time. Tried it other ways? Try it this way, keep them totally separate; it is the only way. Even if your bunny and cat seem to be friends, the key words here are seem to be!
