Stray cat in the chicken run

[squeakyballs]

I left the door to the run open so my chickens could free range. The resident stray cat was making his rounds and marking things, and wandered into the run. He took one look at the hens, jumped a mile, and ran for it

And to think I've been terrified this whole time that one of the stray cats would get a chicken!

That's cool. I hoe the same happens here if our neighborhood cats wander over. Pretty sure my roo would kick some kitty tail

Haha, somehow I'm not surprised! My cats will be curious about the chickens from a distance... But if the chickens get any closer than about six feet, it's time to high-tail it!

DeeDaa won't even confront my 6 week old chicks!! She approaches very cautiously at first, and as soon as she catches a wiff of them, she's gone like a shot out of a canon!!

Yet this is the same cat that treed the neighbors big Tom for 12 hours. And she's less than half of his size!! Silly cat!
