Are You Really Ready to Keep a Pet Rabbit?
Rabbits are fragile and need more care and patience than cats or dogs, which is why fewer people keep them.

My cat ran out a few days ago and came back today, but as soon as it returned it kept foaming at the mouth and vomited for almost two hours, then threw up something unidentifiable, and after that started foaming again. What should I do?
Frequent vomiting in cats can be caused by many things, including indigestion, gastroenteritis, liver disease, kidney disease, intestinal obstruction or infectious disease, and food or drug poisoning. Based on your description, the cat vomited continuously after coming home from outside, so it may have accidentally eaten a poison outdoors causing toxicity, or it may have eaten unclean food leading to gastroenteritis or gastrointestinal blockage, or contracted an infectious disease causing frequent vomiting. If the cat vomits whatever it eats, it is recommended to withhold food and water promptly to avoid burdening the digestive tract, and take it to a veterinary hospital for examination as soon as possible. The veterinarian will give a corresponding treatment plan based on symptoms and test results; giving medication at home may worsen the condition. Also, keep the cat in a clean environment and prevent it from contacting harmful substances.

Why Has My Cat Suddenly Stopped Sleeping in Its Bed?
If a cat that used to use its bed suddenly refuses, check for a strong or unpleasant smell, dirt, dampness, or a bed that has grown too small as the cat got bigger. If it never liked the bed, the material may be wrong for the season or the spot may be too noisy. Clean or re-site the bed, match the material to the weather, and place it where the cat already likes to nap.
