Why did the cat here attacked it though? I never had any experience like this before even when my neighbourhood is filled with cats they never bothered or came to them, even when one passed across the fence it never really jumped inside she wasn't scared of me at all, I have no idea how, that's why I guessed she's domestic, also, she didn't eat the chicken? Like she just snapped its neck then stood on it not really afraid of me I threw cold water on her later to move her but when I tried scaring her with the broom she didn't even flenchGenerally speaking domestic cats do not go after adult standard-sized chickens. Exceptional cats, especially those that are feral are more likely to try and take an adult chicken down. I have cats go after juvenile game chickens that were 3/4's grown. My daughters cat killed a pullet within seconds and mangled a stag with a similar amount of effort. Cat no longer targets chicken because is get thumped by a game hen protecting a brood of smaller chicks.
I think any adult cat is fully capable of taking down even the toughest chicken, they just do not have the mindset to do so.
