Do cats eat rabbits?

Question

i heard these rumors about cats attacking and eating rabbits? i just got a rabbit and my neighbors cat comes in my house sometimes for steeling food from the kitchen. so whats the answer? and how to get of the cat i kick it out cause its my neighbors. lol i tie a cloth soaked with petrol around its neck and doesn't back for days!LOL

Answer 1

Yes they do. I would not let that cat around my rabbit.. A rabbit is very thin skinned and even a cat scratch can kill it.

Answer 2

Cats will hunt rabbits.  I have only seen them catch and eat baby ones though.  OTOH, my 2 pound Holland Lop chased down my 12 pound Siamese cat.  I've never laughed so hard......  

I would definitely not take any chances, I would keep the neighbor's cat away.

Answer 3

i dont think they eat the rabbit they just kill them you should watch out because some cats bring presents to there owner

presents like dead rabbits

Answer 4

oo I wouldn't do that!! Yeah some can, just like foxes, lay off the hole petrol thing!!! xxxxx

Answer 5

Yes, cats are predators and can stalk, kill and eat rabbits, just as any other predator. If a cat is raised in a home with pet rabbits, they can get along very well, but even in such instances they shouldn't be left alone when one goes out. The solution concerning your neighbor's cat is to keep him out of your house (how is he/she getting in??). Prevent the cat from re-entering and keep your rabbit in a safe area, away from access in case the cat does manage to sneak in again.

And I sincerely hope you were joking with your comment about the cloth around the cat's neck.

Answer 6

Yes if they're not used to rabbits they will, but if a kitten is brought up with a rabbit then it is likely that the cat will be friendly with the rabbit.

Answer 7

um it depends, i have a cat, indoor cat, and a rabbit and they play together. But than my great aunt and uncle, have an outdoor cat and she kills rabbits when she can catch them (wild ones).

So i guess it really depends on the cat and your rabbit, like if your rabbit runs loose in the house or if he is caged?

Answer 8

Answer 9

Answer 10

Answer 11

i hate to say it... but i have 3 cats and they are outside cats.  one night, like REALLY late at night i heard this crying of some sort.. i look out the window and all 3 cats were "playing" with a rabbit.  the next morning all i saw was fur... i'm sorry =(  these are wild rabbits, not inside ones.  cats like to play with small furry things, so as long as your rabbit is kept in a cage, you're okay! =)
