Hi All,
I wanted to know if rabbits and kittens get a long? And if so, how would I go about introducing them to each other? Without one or the other feeling threatened or scared.... I want to make sure they get a long. Is there any way to ensure they "kick it off" right?
I ask because we are currently caring for 4 six week old feral kittens. A local no kill cat rescue foundation may come Monday to take the kittens, which is fine because I know they will find the kitties great homes. But I really want to keep one of them, the runt of the litter. He's 6 weeks old, is 1.3 lbs, and super adorable. Plus, I had to take him to the vet this morning because there was blood in his urine (he's on antibiotics now and will be okay)... so I spent about $100 on a kitten I don't own.
Dopey is a 3.5lb mini lop and is 4 years old. He's super spoiled and is very close/affectionate with me. In the past, when I've fed the homeless cats on our back patio... he's come up nudged me to get me away from them. So that's why I don't know if he'd get along with the kitten.
If anyone could give any tips or suggestions, I would really appreciate it.
Oh yea, can rabbits get any diseases or anything elsefrom kittens? The kitten has not been vaccinated yet.
Thank you :big wink:
