That depends up the bunny and the cats. Introductions must be made slowly over a couple of months as you want to make sure that the cats consider the rabbit a part of the family, not dinner. Allow the cats to be near the rabbit hutch where the bunny is safe. Then have a part of the day when the cats are restricted to another room and cannot get out while you let the rabbit roam freely about. Once bunny is safely back in the hutch you can let the cats back in. Keep the hutch on the floor, securely closed. Let the rabbit and cats interact this we for a couple of months before you try brief periods of time with both out together, first with you holding the rabbit and allowing the cats to approach. Hopefully what you will find is they either ignore each other as the newness has worn off or they will realize that they may enjoy playing together. I have a male bunny who is IN LOVE with my female Tabby. He follows her everywhere and runs circles around her, which is a bunny mating ritual. They can peacefully coexist if you take it slow and make sure the bunny is safe at all times.

What animal would not eat the head of a rabbit?
A ferret MIGHT pull a rabbit head thru the cage and eat it. You don't say what size the rabbit is or what size the wire is, so it is hard to really answer your question.
What will you do if your rabbit smells like pee?
First thing is to keep the cage clean. Clean it out daily, put fresh litter in daily. Make sure the rabbit has fresh water and pellets too. Keep the cage clean and you will keep the rabbit clean. If you need to bathe him, use a shampoo made for cats and keep the shampoo out of the eyes.

Should you have a rabbit with 2 cats in the house?
why not? Its not a mouse, a rabbit is huge. as long as you have the bunny in a cage the cats cant get into. if you want to take it out and a cat tries to get the bunny, the bunny will run like hell. afterwords you can strongly discipline the cat so it knows not to get the bunny Cats are predatory by nature. If it moves, they will pounce. (google mountain lion attacks bikers to see what I mean) They are also very territorial. These same principals apply to a rabbit. It doesn't matter that the bunny is bigger than a mouse. The cat will be currious and will probably severely injure or kill the rabbit. If you keep the rabbit isolated from the cats the rabbit should be fine. (keep the bunny in a cage or in a room with the door closed at all times) Also, training the cats to avoid the rabbit through negative reinforcement (e.g. squirting the cat with water when they stalk or try to pounce the bunny, etc.) will help to propogate co-habitation. Do not leave the cats alone with the rabbit for any amout of time. If the rabbit is out, keep an eye on the cats Don't be fooled into thinking the bunny is helpless. Rabbits fight like crazy and employ the same tactics to defend themselves. They can and will use their strong hind feet and sharp claws to thump a cat, roll it and rip at its stomach. Rabbits CAN and will kill a cat that attacks them or invades their territory. I have seen it happen.

How do you get cats in a car?
When you are in the house, put your cats into a cage. Close the door of the cage and put the cage in the front passenger seat (recommended only). Some cats do not like car rides, so be prepared. Put a towel on the bottom of the cage and bring an extra towel in case your cat throws up or has an accident. You can also flip the towel over. Make sure the cage is big enough for any pets you want to travel with--don't cram your pets into a tiny area. If you want to, you can even talk to your cats-it might help your cat/cats calm down a little if they are scared of the car ride. I believe the best way to get your cats in a car is to put them in a cage first, then put the cage, closed shut, into the car. If your cats fear the cage, try putting food or a little treats into the far end of the cage. You can put small toys into the cage also, for distraction and amusement. Hope this helped. Good luck!
Can outdooor cats that hunt live with bunnies?
No, not really, unless of course if the rabbit is in a cage because a rabbit is a cat's natural prey, along with small rodents and birds. If a pet rabbit is allowed to roam with the cat, never leave them unattended. If the cat has grown up with the rabbit as a young kitten, the risk of the cat harming the rabbit is lower.
