My bunny, Cookie, is currently inside the house. I've sectioned off half of the house for her for the day to keep my Labrador away. The dog's looked at her the wrong way one too many times. I'm not willing to risk it.
But, what about the cats? I can't keep them out with a simple gate. They can jump over it.
Even when I had Cookie in the house, I'd let the cats in her room with her (she had our extra bedroom to herself). My youngest cat has always chased her around. He's good with his claws so I'm not too concerned.
However, I need to know when I should step in and stop him. Will the rabbit start stomping every time the cat chases her?
She'll only be inside for an hour or two. I thought she looked lonely outside (and she probably was) especially because she's been allowing me to touch her and she hardly ever lets me do that.
So, how much stalking, pouncing, and swatting should I allow from the cats?
Cookie is currently stretched out of the floor breathing hard (not surprised, she's done a lot of running) and the cat's behind her batting at her feet every few seconds.
