I think the cat is likely to avoid them, given their size and activity. He is a hunter but of lizards and mice. The hens will be larger in size than he though not as heavy. My dog is a herder so I'm hoping she will adopt this flock and be a protector. I will go slow in introducing them and ensure the birds are safe.I read something on Pinterest a post someone made they walked the dog around on a short leash an having the dog sit an watch while the chicken free ranged. Walk the dog around the chickens or near ect. Im surw you can find something more indepth of this process or others to comment. But i wouldnt just let them free while chickens arw out in about. And i have no idea about cats. I feel its natural for them to want to kill birds. But i dont know i have no cats nor a cat person. But I have a female boxer that wants to kill mine an a male bullmastiff that likes to watch them an wants to play with them. This summer hopefully i can train him to behave around them so they can be around each in the summer. Hes more of a playful lover to other animals. Best of luck!
