I have just been told that cats and rabbits can mate under 
domesticated situations, producing offspring called "cabbits".
I was uder the impression that rabbits were rodents and cats were
felines, and that such a mating could not be successful.  If this
correct?  Could someone please comment on "cabbits".

Also I would be interested in knowing about other inter-species
offspring such as "tigons", "ligers" and "mules".

Thank you!

Ashok
