Is there a way to get a rabbit and cat to play nicely?

I have two cats (brothers that are 1 year old) and a new bunny (2 months old) that I would like to be able to have in the same area without them trying to attack each other. Is there any suggestions from other cat and rabbit owners? And yes, i know they are enemies by nature. I am just curious as to what suggestions i will recieve.Is there a way to get a rabbit and cat to play nicely?
Yes with close supervision, and positive reinforcment. If one of them gets too rough, separate them for at least 20 minutes in a room by themselves. You should let them sniff each other through a gate first, to see how they react initially. The younger they are when you introduce them, the better chance you'll have at success. If your cats have been around different animals, it will be easier too. My two cats and my rabbit did great, and eventually would follow each other around. Here's proof:

I've successfully had a cat and a lizard living in the same house, although they were never together unsupervised. I wouldn't recommend leaving your rabbit and your cats together without a physical barrier between them when you're not around. If your rabbit is living in a hutch or something and you want to keep your cats from hanging on the cage and terrorizing it, then you're going to need to train them that it's unacceptable behavior. Clap loudly and say 'NO!' firmly when they are around the cage, be patient, and most importantly be consistent, and they will come to understand.
I had two bunnies a few years ago who I let run my livingroom during the day and put them to bed in a cage at night. I also have several cats who could have cared less about them. One cat in particular grew very fond of them and played with them but, a cat will get too rough and they need strict supervision. They played nice for awhile and then my cat would do the kicking with rear feet thing and that's when I stepped in. It just really depends on your cats disposition. Proceed with caution.
Bring the rabbit out and pet him while the other cats are out





so they know that you like him and that he's a friend of yours .


after pettin the rabbit put him back in his cage or w/e and


start petting the cats to let them know they were good for


being nice while the bunny was out .
