For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.I do agree, though, that if you can supervise the cats for a while, I think they will lose interest - we have cats and a rabbit, and the cats just like the rabbit's company, they don't try to harm him. As long as your bunnies are fully grown, you should be OK.
If they're still babies, you might have to get a large run for a while until they're grown - they shouldn't be deprived of their exercise and freedom. Ours spends most of his time in his run - he loves it, and when we bring him out, he just sits in one spot until we return him! So a run isn't necessarily a bad thing!
Let us know how you get on...
In the same way that most(but not all)cats love Catnip there is a plant that they hate and I think it is called Coloseus Cannina( you will have to check the spelling). Maybe you can put it in the area where the rabbits are.It may be a good idead first though to make sure the rabbits aren't put off by its smell.
I suggest investing in a long range water pistol and using it. The cats will soon get the message. I wouldn't trust any cat not to harm baby rabbits - they are small enough for a cat to catch, injure and kill. We had a cat which even dived into the small river at the bottom of our garden to catch water rats and moorhens. Better safe than sorry!
