Our seven-month old kitten, "Percival the Merciful" or Percy for short, has just begun going outside with the other cat now that it is March. Our outdoor cat and indoor/outdoor cat are both wary of our free-range chickens. Percy, on the other hand, seems to have been waiting all winter to make their acquaintance and is chasing them from across the yard like a cheetah. Needless to say, the girls are annoyed!
I'm not too worried, Percy so far has been pretty easy to train in other matters so I think a few "corrections" (me yelling from afar, lighting hitting him on the nose accompanied by a stern "No", and/or hosing him with water) should do the trick. It's times like these that I do miss my mean attack rooster, b/c he would have had Percy sorted out in no time, lol.
