Absolutely. Rabbits are generally far happier when living as a pair than alone. Rabbits are naturally very social animals, they enjoy laying together, spending time together, playing, and grooming one an other.

It is often said for this reason that lone = lonely

Great care needs to be taken over initial introductions however. Rabbits are extremely territorial and if they have been living alone and another rabbits comes into their territory they will fight to defend it. Rabbits should be introduced over a period of time (couple of weeks) on neutral ground to allow them to develop a friendship!

Think of it this way, if a complete stranger came into your home, stuck their feet up on your coffee table and settled in to live there you might be a tad irritated. However, if you met someone, became friends and invited them to be your roommate, it wouldn't be such a big deal!

It mainly depends on the cats or rabbits temperament, an older rabbit would be fine with cats but cats do have an instinct to chase and kill baby rabbits. You would need to ask someone who'd know more about it.

I'm not positive if rabbits and rats can get along and heres my reason...wild rats are known for attacking and killing pet rabbits. I don't know how the rabbits and rats would act together, but I would be careful.

Yes, 2 female rabbits would be best, or 2 neutered males, or 1 spayed female and 1 neutered male. Rabbits can also get along with dogs, and cats. They need to be together at a young age to be together though.

In the wild, cats eat rabbits. Naturally, some of that instinct remains within an indoor cat. However, if raised together or introduced properly, cats and rabbits sometimes can live together peacefully.
