Is my cat's cold contagious to rabbits? Are they safe together?

Question

If my cat has a kitty cold and has to be quarantined, can my rabbits be in the same room. Kim

If your cat's respiratory signs are due to a virus, these are species-specific and not contagious to rabbits. However, if the respiratory issues are related to Mycoplasma or Chlamydia, these infections are contagious to rabbits. If testing has not been done on your cat to identify the precise cause of the respiratory signs, it would be best to keep your cat and rabbit separated until the respiratory signs have resolved. I hope this helps and that your cat is feeling better soon!
