My kitty cat

[cmom]

I would be concerned about a cat that stalks my birds even though it hasn't attacked them YET. You never know about a cat until one day it will have one of your birds. Good luck and have fun...

I'd keep an eye on a cat that stalks. We didn't let our cat around the chicks. A couple of times she got on top of the brooder and checked them out. Can't remember what age/size that we did allow interaction, but by then the cat either understood that the birds were pets too or was just not interested in the hunt. Now she just hangs out and watches them when they free range and the birds will follow her when she wanders off.

Tiny birds would be at risk. My barn cats never try for chicks protected by a broody hen, and ignore the standard birds and adult Belgian d'Uccles, once they are six weeks old and free ranging with the flock. Young chicks are never out there alone, I do think they would be at risk.
I would worry about those Seramas or any youngsters, if your cat is really interested in them.

So, my cat, his name is Storm, the one in my pfp, likes to stalk my chickens, but he won't attack them. Should I be concerned?

Same, but my cat will lay in the grass and they come up to her.

Where do you get a cat like that? All mine does is sit on it's lazy butt and run away when we call it inside.

She's very pretty, so is she friendly to the chickens or just curious?

That's a pretty bird. Looks kinda like a doily.
