I live next door to a dairy farm. There are always stray cats around the chickens. They are interested in the mice. It is fun to watch a chicken teach them not to mess with them. The cats here always loose. The best thing to teach a cat not to mess with chickens is a hen with chicks. Poor cat does not know where to run. LOL. I am not saying that all cat will not hurt chickens but I think most will not.

I have never seen a cat hurt a full grown chicken yet and I have had them get in the pens with the chickens...only thing I can say about cats is they are good at finding any holes in your pen that you may have missed...generally all they ever get out of a pen is mice or squirrels.
