Some cats would hurt baby rabbits, and some wouldn't. What your cat will do with baby rabbits depends on its temperament and where it finds them. (For example, your cat might act one way if it knows there are baby rabbits in the rabbit crate in a room in your house, and a completely different way if it finds a nest of wild baby rabbits in your backyard.) For the safety of the babies, you should keep them completely away from all other animals (except the mother rabbit) until they are grown. A cat or any animal could accidentally hurt the baby rabbits without even meaning to, so take care of them and keep them safe.

Absolutely yes, yes, yes!!!! I try to raise rabbits and my cats have killed every single one of them and brought them to my front porch and then layed them right at the front doors for me as a present. I have four cats and they think they're doing me a service, but they're not.

I don't know about cats. I do know that my Boston Terrier got worms from eating on a rabbit she killed a few years ago. Nothing taking your pups along while you help take care of a son after surgery and seeing a worm come out of her behind!

Most cats will, due to their predatory nature, catch and eat baby rabbits. Some cats who are raised around domestic rabbits will not harm them. Other cats are just more gentle all around and won't hurt other animals.

So to answer your question: It depends on the cat!

Not normally. Although house cats are predatory, they normally only hunt small prey. My cat has brought me mice, small birds, worms, bugs and even a small bat, but never a bunny.

I would suspect that if the bunny were full grown they would leave it alone. Big bunnies can fight back and run fast. Small bunnies would be considered a possible prey for a house cat. So keep them separated.

Maybe, because cats are fast (depends on the breed) and bunny rabbits are fast, but I've never heard about a cat killing a rabbit....
