Cats and rabbits are both mammals, but as far as any other type of relation goes between the two, that’s about as good as it gets. Technically speaking, cats actually belong to a family that is referred to as Felidae, and the order Carnivora. Rabbits on the other hand belong to the family known as Leporidae and the order Lagomorpha.
The two have no other type of relation other than they are both cute and cuddly and make great pets. In fact, the last common ancestor that either of these furry little critters had in common would have been about 90 million years ago.
