Rabbit trying to mate cat

[Earthdale]

I recently got a new kitten, and she loves my rabbits (yes we supervise her with them). This morning however one of my male rabbits tried to mate her! I separated them, but he might do it again. Any advice?

Keep them separated. Buck rabbit philosophy is , "If you can't be with the one you love, love the one you're with." Given the opportunity they will continue to pester the cat.

Keep the rabbits away from the cat. That will prevent the rabbit from injuring the cat.

Keep them away from each other.

That's too bad, they had a lot of fun together.

The buck rabbit sure did. Perhaps when the kitten is larger it can better protect itself.

How would she get injured?

And injure the rabbit

Just think about that, and I'm sure you can figure things out.

And injure the rabbit

Sometimes negative reinforcement is the greater educator.

She didn't seem to mind and she can get away. Is it similar to ducks and chickens?
