I agree with “Bunny” as suggested by another poster, or " Co co" and “Connie” for English nick name from conejo (rabbit in Spanish). ---

What a cutie! My goodness, those big eyes! She looks like a cat that needs a human name to me, though I do like the suggestion of Marbles. Perhaps Mabel? (I thought rabbits and cats weren’t supposed to get along - is it different if they’re introduced when the cat is small?) ---
