Hey hun.. I think that the only way u will know for sure is to actually get one! Rabbits are very timmid creatures by nature and normally have a very sociable attitude towards other pets. It is normal for a cat not to be fond of dogs because well... not many of them are.

But make sure you do your research on the rabbit you want to get as they are exreemely finicky pets to have and care for! They need extra special attention with grooming and nutrition.

I highly reccomend that you get a "Siver Rex Rabbit" or an "Angora Rabbit". They are the most peacefull of the species, and the cutest!

Other Rabbit Species include: The English and french flop's.

Your Kitty should'nt have a problem with the bunny... Just give her some time to bond and get used to the fella!

Hope it helps!

Another Tip is that if u decide to get a bunny, always be cautious with the breeders or the place you buy them from eg. Pet shop

Pay close attention to the rabbits behavior before you decide to buy it. Take time to interact with the little guy and see weather or not he is scared or curiouse! Normally If a rabbit looks stressed its not a good idea to buy him as the previous owners might have mistreated it.

signs of stress in a rabbit normally include maulting or as they call it "shedding", this is when the rabbits hair falls out slowly. Look for any signs of stress!

Never be afraid to ask the breeder/assistant any questions considering the background of where the rabbit came from. Its always good to know!

And if ur sure that this is the Rabbit u want then go for it and take your new family member home!
