they can live together just fine. as the owner its your job to teach acceptable behavior to your animal even the cat. establish dominance and everything will be fine.
Yes, the puppy wants to play with the cat.
Well I have A cat who was a stray, we took her in, of coarse she'll have no jabs, then we went And got a puppy, been together for 2 months now all seems fine. :-)
I think as long as the poodle and the cat get along and they can be trusted to play together and what not, then its perfectly fine.
Yes, when cats and dogs live together in the same home they sometimes establish strong friendships. It usually helps when they start out together as puppy and kitten, it can also happen with older pets but is less likely.
The best way to introduce a new puppy to an older house cat is to hold the cat while the puppy checks it out.
Usually kittens will get on better when introduced with a new puppy than a mature cat, but if this happens its easiest to give the cat and dog their separate spaces and let the cat decide when it wants to meet the puppy, or at the very least just tolerate it.Added: Because the cat was there first you must establish the role of the puppy. To the cat the puppy is low, and depending on your relationship with the cat, either you or the cat follow. Always show the cat FIRST affection. That is when the puppy and cat are in the same room, coo and pat the cat first then the puppy. Ignore if the puppy tries for your affection. A puppy right now wont understand exactly but the cat does. in time the puppy will realise the cat gets first priority, this makes the cat happy and also understand that you have accepted the puppy into your group. In time the cat should too. If the cat hisses at the puppy don't punish the cat and don't grab for the puppy, this is seen as you defending the puppy and the sudden movement of the puppy may cause the cat to react aggressively. if the cat swipes the puppy, again do not interfere. The cat is showing the puppy the ranks. Animals will not normally harm extensively a baby animal being introduced to the famil group. As an owner of 8 cats and having to introduce one puppy and 1 yearling dog to them, I have watched first hand the reactions cats make. The biggest order of business to them is: Rank.
a cat!

No, the cat would probably attack the rabbit and scratch it to death so never make a cat and a bunny live together.
A kitten is a baby Cat and a puppy is a baby dog
You can keep the puppy from eating the cat food by putting the cat's food dish at a higher level. Cat have a natural tendency to jump up to higher levels to eat prey, so this will not disturb your cat at all. You can also feed the cat in a separate room from the puppy, such as the bathroom with the door closed, and return in 10 minutes to let the cat out and collect the dish.
