Xeno - contains ivermectin. Can reapply q 2weeks I think if needed.

My understanding is rabbit fleas can survive on cats and cat fleas on rabbits, but only for a short time. Not enough for them to be a significant reservoir. Never heard of a cat getting FAD specifically to rabbit fleas, but I guess they could develop an allergy. And obviously make sure the rabbit's out of the way when the house is treated.

No nothing about bunnies, sorry. Doesn't Advantage have a bunny on the box?
