My cat and chickens are friends. She will walk with them and lay down with them. Too cute. The other day, I was sitting on our glider watching the girls and letting them free-range for a bit. My kitty decided to sit with me. My pet Doms jumped up on the glider for pets also. They immediately started to move her out of the way. She just looked miffed and jumped down. However, I have seen the neighbors cat peering at my girls through the fence. All 25 chickens, pointing her out and giving her the 'stink eye'. They do look like velocaraptors waiting for the kill. Though we have a fairly large feral cat population, I have yet to have an attack. None of the strange kitties seem to be brave enough to take on 25 irritated chickies. So, while I can understand that any animal if hungry enough will attempt a 'kill', I have never had a feral cat do more than dream.......However, if one did attack, I would have to agree with trapping first, SSS last.
When the Coopers blinked it was a full charge forward
