Can a cat mate with a dog?

Cats and dogs cannot mate with each other, even if it looks like they're trying to do so. Their breeding behaviors, heat cycles, and different DNA prevent them from being able to produce healthy, viable offspring. Hybrid species can be created when the animals have similar DNA to each other, such as lions and tigers.

Can a dog mate with a rabbit?

The reported inviability of the hybrid is, however, consistent with a distant cross, since the hybrids from such crosses do seem to be more frequently inviable than those from close crosses. Among domestic animals rabbits and dogs are both among the most promiscuous in their choice of mate.
