I have a wonderful cat and am thinking of getting a house rabbit. What are the chances of them getting along?

Question

I have a sweet little cat about a year and a half old. About 3 months ago I purchased a small guinea pig thinking that eventually the cat might get along with him. I unfortunately had to re-home him after about a week because the cat was adament about getting to him and it was obvious it wasn't going to work. My cat is terrific with dogs. Anyway, would a rabbit be different. I love angora rabbits and had one years ago. I am thinking of getting an angora again as I find them so sweet and cuddly. I'm a bit aprehensive though because I want to make sure there is a good chance that the cat will get along with the rabbit. My cat weighs around 7 pounds and I would imagine that the rabbit would weigh a couple of pounds less, if that matters. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Most animals get along from a young age 
So they are raised together and learn to stick by each other
 The chances of your cat and bunny getting along are possible seeing as your cat if good with dogs

I have both.  When the cat gets into my room (where the bunny is), he gets behind her cage.  The cat plays peek-a-boo with the bunny and the bunny is very interested in the cat.  On Christmas, he got in and gave her a little bop on the face through the cage.  She stayed in her little hutch and didn't come out for hours.  She is a dwarf rabbit.  I wouldn't let them visit without a huge cage in between them.  I also have a dog who gets along with the cat (who bullies the dog every once in a while).  I was reading up on it in a dwarf rabbit book and it said that cats and bunnies sometimes get along.  I hope this helps!
