I've never had any problems with cats and ferrets, although my indoor cats have all been pretty low on predatory drive. My cats have all mostly ignored the ferrets, oddly enough.
Ferrets and rabbits could work but there is the risk of them hurting each other. Rabbits are a natural prey for ferrets, but rabbits can also be a lot tougher and more aggressive than you might imagine, so it could go both ways. Would probably depend on the personalities of the individual animals.
Cats and rabbits I have no experience with, although I'd expect it to depend on the prey drive of the cat in question. I know outdoor cats that catch and eat wild rabbits bones and all, leaving nothing but a tiny tuft of fur. I'm quite sure that there are other cats and rabbits that are fine together, but it's important to proceed carefully and with your eyes wide open.

I know many pet owners that have ferrets and cats together and they play together. Some cats may be accepting of a rabbit, but ferrets and rabbits don't mix...the ferret would probably see the rabbit as an easy meal.

Yes. My rabbit and cat got along.
I don't think it would be wise to put a rabbit and ferret together because, weasels are a predator of rabbits. Ferrets are part of the weasel family.

Yes, rabbits & cats can get along, yes, ferrets & cats can get along, NO(VERY RARELY ANYWAY),ferrets & rabbits should not be put together, your ferret would probibly KILL your rabbit!

Yes, most any animal can get along with another if properly introduced and given time to adjust and relate to each other.
Start off with supervisory visits with each other and be prepared to intervene if they don't appear to be ready for each other.
I have had cats and rabbits get along fine, but have also had some cats that were totally scared of being around the rabbits and wanted nothing to do with the rabbit.

Rabbits and ferrets I doubt will get along.
Cats and rabbits can. Especially if you get the kitten after you have the rabbit.

It depends on the animals themselves. I can't speak for ferrets, but I had a calico cat, Chessie, who was my bunny Thumper's best friend. When we let Thumper hop around the yard a bit, Chessie was always there beside her, protecting Thumper. But my cat Jack Frost was another story; he would have liked to have had Thumper for lunch and I don't mean by invitation.
