Keep a rabbit in a secured cage, or free roam in a room? There is a cat in the house who is not bonded with her

I would not recommend to leave the cat and the rabbit unsupervised in the house. The cat has sharp teeth and claws which could seriously injury Mistie if the cat suddenly becomes aggressive or has its prey drive activated. Please post again if you have any further questions!
