aggressive mini lop bunny

Question
Our mini lop bunny has been living with us in a cage in our living room for about 3 weeks. I am not real sure on her age, maybe 3 months old. We let her out for play time and she aggressively attacks our cats. The cat will be lying on the floor non threatening to her and she will charge them and bite. When they run to get away from her she chases after them. We had a rabbit previousely that loved to play with our cats so this was surprising to me. The pet store said they thought she was female.
Thank you for any help.

Answer
My rabbits don't really like the cats either. Our cats are scared of them. I guess the only way to stop this is to shout NO! whenever she bites/attacks the cats. You could also pen her up when you catch her being mean, and she should soon break of this habit. It is probably where she is young and courious.
