I have 2 cats and the neighbor has 1. All 3 free roam outside and none have bothered the chickens.

My house cat would run away in terror from the chickens, but I lost one of my grown hens to a large stray tom cat last weekend They hadn't even been running out of the coop 30 minutes that morning either...

We have three cats. None bother the chickens. If anything the rooster gives them a run for their money when he’s feeling feisty LoL but for the most part they can all be found sun bathing together.

We took in a large tom cat from a family member. The first time they were out together the cat tried to stalk and jump on a hen. They fought back and the cat took off. After a time or too of that the cat has never bothered the hens, it's been over a year now an no issues.

We have a neighbor cat that stalks and watches our two hens from atop the privacy fence. Hens are about 5 months old and almost as big as the cat. Free ranging Buff Orpington and a Speckled Sussex. I keep an eye on them and shew the cat away when I see it. Hoping they will eventually tolerate each other but am always cautious.
