Yes, that's true, rabbit pellets can be used directly on the garden 
or in the regular compost bin, but cat and dog waste is almost always 
handled separately. Most people use a separate composting system for 
cat and dog waste, then use that compost mainly on ornamentals. The 
main concern is pathogens in the waste (same goes for humanure).

A few people who have experience with hot composting, however, put 
everything and anything organic into the compost bins. (And if you 
gotta ask what that is, you're not ready.)
