Bunny Meets Nervous Foster Kitten and Immediately Goes Into Mama Mode
Awww, what a good mama she is! The internet is collectively gushing over the way a bunny rabbit took her new foster kitten under her wing. The bunny was so gentle with the baby cat. It was almost like she was telling the little one that everything was gonna be a-okay.
The animals' owner Emily Heide showed their initial meeting. Right away the bunny was ready to jump in and take the kitten in as her own.
The bunny seemed a little timid at first in the clip. She had to give the kitten a good sniff, before she "accepted" the baby. But once she did, the two got along so well. She gave the kitty tons of "lovins" and gently nestled it with her nose.

"You are safe with me," the bun seemed to say to the cat. "It's okay to be nervous, I'll be right there," the text overlay reads.
"If there is one thing my bunny Berth loves, it's rescue kittens that need a mama," Heide joked in the caption.
People in the comments section were here for this unlikely relationship. "Interspecies friendship is the purest love," wrote one person. "Gonna need an update when they grow up together," someone else pleaded. "My bunny loves my cats so I gave her a kitten we found on the street, starving and lost. She adores her," someone else shared. "This is heart melting to watch," chimed in another commenter.
Can Cats Live with Other Small Mammals?
Cats can be sort of particular. They can be territorial and don't always get along with other animals. But there is hope. Some cats can be raised with other critters. If you're going to bring home a pet, you'll want to pick the right one.
Our first tip: be selective. Cats have a strong prey drive for teensy animals like mice or gerbils. But larger mammals like rabbits or ferrets should be a good companion to your kitty.
If you're interested in reptiles tortoises and iguanas are also good options. They will mostly ignore your cat and your cat will mostly ignore them — which is for the best.
Give your new animals their own space, ideally in a cage or special enclosure that your cat can't get to. It's also important to give your cat lots of attention so that they don't get jealous.
This is all to say that it's totally possible to be a two pet family (or three...or four) with a cat in the house. Despite their nature, cats are (sometimes) willing to share the love.
