Do your cats bother the chicks/chickens?

[zzGypsy]

y'see I have a theory on cats...
you always need a kitten, because they're entertaining
and if you have a 1 yr old cat, that kitten will have someone to play with
and if you have a yr old and a kitten, those two will keep the rest more active (by playing with or annoying them) and that helps keep the older cats healthy.
so.
every year add one kitten.
cats live 12-15 years, so you should top out around 12-15 cats, on average.

that's my theory.

and then a couple of months ago my hubby rescued 3 starving kittens.

this could totally skew the process.

-----------------

ok, relatively speaking, I'm not totally nuts.
my grandmother had about 30, and my great aunt had more than 30 that were indoors only... and who knows how many ferals and neighborhood cats she fed outside...
I think I'm doing pretty well, considering.

thats an excellent theory!

Before we moved a few months back we fostered rescues and abandoned queens for the local shelter... we often had 15, 16, 17 cats including our own... i love every minute of it and wish I could have kept them all

This is few pictures of some of my group a while back. I need to take some new pictures. Because we have been in drought for long time and the green color to some of the grass now is none existant with places that used to have grass dirt now. Anyways I thought you might enjoy seeing some of our babies.

My cats love hanging out with the chickens. They even go in the coop & lounge around lol. My oldest cat is 18. They have never bothered the hens but seem very interested in them.

I actually have to put my 5 month old outdoor kitten in a kennel because my turkeys stalk him and beat him up lol he hasnt figured out to go hide somewhere he just wants to be under my feet and thinks that will be safe. My older female will go hide when it is time for the birds to come out because she has been pecked enough times lol

Might be same bird, but is hard to say. We have 30 turkeys.
