Will my cat ever not try to attack my rabbit?

[homesick742]

First, will my cat ever not go after the rabbitwhen out exercising? I try to keep her away but she will sit on theedge of the steps and wait. The cat is ok with the rabbit in her cagealthough I always remain in the room just in case. Any ideas on how toget them to get along?

And I am trying to litter train and currently have a corner litter boxbut she uses it as a bed.:disgust:It's only been a few days,but there's been no progress at all. She still poos on her grass mat,but will save the pee for the wire part of her cage. I tried puttingpoo and a pee soaked tissue in the litter box but she dug it out and itended up below. Thanks for any help!

Does she pee in a specific spot in thecage? You could put a second litterbox there. Feyand Sprite used to sleep in their litterboxes when they first got themtoo. I guess they look like beds when you haven't had theluxury before.

I don't have too many recommendations for the cat. I'd nevertrust her with the rabbit if she shows tendancies to attackit. You could try squirting water at her. I'dprobably just keep them totally separate. I'm introducing mykittens to the rabbits but they're more shy of the rabbits than therabbits are of them. We actually looked for kittens thattended to back down in confrontation for that reason.

I suppose I will just keep them separatefor now. We've had my cat for over a year and I couldn't get rid ofher.I'll try keeping her in my bedroom while I have thebunny out. And she does pee in one spot in her cage only. I'm in theprocess of rearanging her cage and all. I'm doing one thing at a time.

When my rabbits are out I keep the kittens in abedroom where their litterboxes, food, and scratching postare. I can't trust them yet.

There's no need to think about giving the cat away, you just can't let them run in the same area at the same time.

My cats have always been afraid of the buns, infact the buns find it tremendously fun to chase them! I think it'ssomething about their ears and hopping that unnerves them.

Don't mix a cat and rabbit outside. When a catis outside it's predatory instincts kick in and he'll begin stalking.Inside this is different b/c of the scenario and his instincts don'tkick in. Thats how my cat seems to work anyway =P
